I'm noticing a lot of people who haven't used SnapChat themselves. SC is popular in younger demographics because it offers a few things: Privacy: the images are "deleted", and you can chose how long someone views the image. SnapChat also offers a sort of anonymity. Kids now who have smartphones and whatnot value privacy. They don't want their parents snooping in on what they're doing online. Although I am not really sure the images are entirely deleted. I'd like to know how they manage that.
