I&#x27;m in Seattle, so maybe I&#x27;m biased -- but many of my friends and I from 20s to 30s all enjoy Snapchat.  The moments are real, time-limited, don&#x27;t require a reply, aren&#x27;t faked by filters, and aren&#x27;t a popularity contest.  That makes it a huge improvement over every other social network we use.<p>It&#x27;s by far the easiest way to share a picture or moment with friends -- a photo is worth 1000 words and the location&#x2F;time&#x2F;velocity overlays add a lot of context.  In many ways it&#x27;s actually one of the most mature popular social networks -- it clearly learned from earlier social network attempts.  I don&#x27;t have to be &quot;cool&quot; to anyone but the relevant people to whom I send a snap.<p>It feels private enough -- hot girls like to use it and that will get anyone on any platform&#x2F;club&#x2F;bar&#x2F;social location.  Sorry to all of you who are using other slower, more ad-ridden networks and missing out.
