I'm glad someone pointed this out. This feature has always existed. You didn't even have to do it through your web browser, Snapchat has always had a link within the app to view the profiles of your friends (including their "best friends").

#5yeah it has been at launch and it is brutal. does clearing your feed delete your top friends? they badly need a way to clear or disable top friends, otherwise using snapchat with the opposite gender is a jealousy-magnet-clusterfuck with significant others when they see it... speaking from experience

#6As many have already pointed out in other comments, it definitely was already a feature. I would just add that I think the author still has a valid point, though, because this new update does bring a lot more light on that feature. I would say before this update, it was a pretty "hidden"/unknown feature. I wonder if more users will speak up about it in their reviews now that it's much more obvious to access that information.

#7"Facebook makes it extremely clear that they never give away this information"
Not a quick learner, I'm afraid.

#8This has been part of the product since launch. Not a huge mistake.

#9This has been circulating in my mind for some time now. It seems to me that Silicon Valley is so obsessed with "home run" start ups that we've lost track of caring if they make our lives better.
I'm not necessarily making a moral judgement on Snapchat but I do think it is something to consider. You can see the same mentality around Chatroulette. I realize the value of something is not concrete at first; Twitter comes to mind. I think we all agree that Twitter plays an important role in society today, yet that was unclear a few years ago.
As a society, are we rallying behind an app that helps people engage in extramarital affairs as this post suggests? Without getting into morality, don't we agree that affairs impact not just the two participants but the families surrounding them?
Are we simply justifying our obsession with "success" by attributing some theoretical benefit when the drawbacks seem obvious?

Exactly. They wouldn't give it away. They'd sell it at an exorbitant price. That's not giving it away.
