As a fairly heavy user of snapchat I see all these comments about it failing due to poor security just plain wrong. Almost no-one uses it for the security. Its about the lack of cost if the picture is 'wrong' or poor. Sending selife's or pictures of what's happening in your day is a nice way to keep in touch with someone. It feels more personal than text or voice and is much easier to do. Who cares if its a bad picture or a little boring, its gone in 10 seconds.
Maybe some have a usecase for high security (nude pictures etc) but that isn't the largest market, or at least in my experience.

That's it, science has failed once again. I'm going back to chemistry.
Seems just as funny.
