#3This is a great. I find that half my snapchats are boring photos of my face, lunch, or coffee mug, just so I can put a caption over them. No more!
It also seems like a full on attack against Facebook messenger.

Neither in Australia.

#5Doesn't this start to erode the spontaneity and key purpose of Snapchat?
To what extent do you think this is feature creep?

Totally agree about Facebook messenger. This is a game changer. FB messenger is going to be the I'm-on-the-subway-and-don't-know-anyone-so-I-better-not-look-silly kinda app, and that's boring.

Hmm, what does this mean? I really don't understand, sorry! Sounds interesting though.

#9Don't you mean taking the snap out of snapchat?

#10I think this will be big, specifically the video aspect. Removes the biggest problems with video chat (Skype, hangouts etc.) feeling 'weird'. My immediate thoughts:
A) Don't feel like you're getting roped into a long conversation (you have to hold down on the screen, so of course it will be short!)
B) Doesn't feel like you are bothering people by calling them without knowing if they are free to videochat (they are clearly using snapchat at that moment so they're probably not too busy)
C) No need to have something specific to talk about; can just say hi quickly and see what your friends are up to.
D) As a bonus, if you are messaging with someone in the text interface and get to a point in the conversation where you need to communicate something complex, just use the video chat feature for 20 secs. and then go back to the more async g-chat style text messaging.
