bit calls love per quite text work
I text nonstop, and I love emoji. I'm also on the phone quite a bit for work - probably more than 10 calls per day.
contribute fits happens online persona static supposed
There's this weird thing that happens when you contribute something to a static profile. You have to worry about how this new content fits in with your online persona that's supposed to be you. It's uncomfortable and unfortunate.
We've never been anti-permanence. We just belief deletion should be the default.
difficult executing lots product
I think, with any new product that's difficult to understand, there are always lots of questions and criticism. I think we have all the right criticism. We're just going to keep executing on what we believe.
accounts easily huge interface learning lets manage
I feel like I'm finally learning how to use Twitter, and Tweetbot has been a huge part of that. The interface is awesome, and it lets me easily manage two accounts at once.
closer seeing view wanting
For Snapchat, the closer we can get to 'I want to talk to you' - that emotion of wanting to see you and then seeing you - the better and better our product and our view of the world will be.
dear near
Having been bullied growing up, it's something that's really near and dear to my heart. You probably won't have many friends on Snapchat if you're being a jerk.
affect analog believe companies deep digital generation mobile next powerful rather understanding unified
We believe that the next generation of powerful mobile companies have a deep understanding of the world as a unified whole, where digital and analog experiences affect each other rather than transporting analog experiences into the digital realm.
We don't want to own people's photos. We want to help them communicate with friends in whatever way makes them happiest.
conceive disrupt disruptive evolve products
I don't want to disrupt anything. We never conceive of our products as disruptive - we don't look at something and say, 'Let's disrupt that.' It's always about how we can evolve this and make this better.
learning surprise
The fun thing about Snapchat is really the surprise and the joy that comes from learning how to use it.
advertising communication job
We are not advertising ourselves as a secure platform. It's a communication platform. It's not our job to police the world or Snapchat of jerks.
advertise companies create figure people social teams
The social marketing teams of big companies will always figure out a way to advertise on Snapchat. I'd like to create a space for people who have a lot of talent but not a lot of reach.
future people trying
In the future, we'd like to support upcoming artists, people that are trying to be actors.
