This is a great response. I'd add that you can meet people on Snapchat without giving away too much private detail, like a phone number.
The new 2d printed avatars that allow you to easily add people you meet are perfect. Shows Snapchat really understand their audience.
Snapchat may have been bootstrapped with sexting but it is so much more than that now. They've hit on something that no other social network has - an audience of regular people who aren't selling anything, who want to retain their privacy and who want to have fun with friends and acquiantances online.
So much of the content I see on Snapchat would never be shared anywhere else - and a lot of the people sharing it are those who weren't interested in building a profile on public pages.
