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.
invite media party social work
Social media is about friending someone so they'll invite you to a party or get you a job. If that's the work, Snapchat is the playground.
along building forgot social somewhere
Somewhere along the way, when we were building social media products, we forgot the reason we like to communicate with our friends is because it's fun.
bit cool good social valuable view
Traditional social media, in the view of our company, has become a bit repetitive. It doesn't feel very good to be marketed to by your friends. Snapchat is different because it says, look, friends aren't valuable to you just because they can get you into a cool party.
biggest content farther feed social time
The feed was probably the biggest innovation in social media of late. But the interesting thing about a feed is that the more content you consume, the farther in time you go.
default deleted saved
It would be better for everyone if we deleted everything by default and saved the things that are important to us.
dog great mom send snap
I snap with my mom. It was a great way for me to see my dog when I was in college. We send selfies, too.
addressing attention businesses external general hard internal law paying security sure technology work
Technology businesses in general are susceptible to hacking. That's why you have to work really, really, really hard with law enforcement, with security experts, internal and external groups, to make sure you're paying attention and addressing security concerns.
We don't want to own people's photos. We want to help them communicate with friends in whatever way makes them happiest.
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.
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.
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.
We've never been anti-permanence. We just belief deletion should be the default.
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.
