So while this should be a wake up call to Snapchat to beef up its security, I wouldn't say that's the reason to rule them out. But I will likely now wait till such security is in place before I check them out first hand.Hopefully Mr. Fuld's personal information is safe from those hackers.

No, I wasn't aware. Thanks for the warning. But your statement isn't fair - even the major companies, or dare I say, especially the major companies are targeted and often susceptible to such attacks. I remember Twitter, Facebook, Google and most recently Target all falling victims to such attacks.

I agree with much of what you say, but I think it's a stretch to blame every act of violence on the economy. After all, look how many riots erupt at sporting events, even when the economy is booming.

Seems like a no-brainer, I'm going to give this one a try, thanks.

Great read, I've heard a lot about Snapchat but never knew what made it "special." Though I wonder, is the ability to "self destruct" after opening such a unique feature that the leading social media sites can't simply copy that, rendering Snapchat pointless? If facebook, youtube, pinterest, etc, offered that seemingly easy to replicate option, why would I need snapchat?
