#2Given the fact you can send out messages to multiple recipients, how do they stop it from being bombarded by spammers?

Users need to accept you as a friend before you can send them Snapchats

#5My 12 year old and her group of friends are hooked on Snapchat. No idea it had reached the University/College level. My understanding is the kids love it because several parents insist that their children never delete their texts until the parent has reviewed all of them each night.
People will share more when they know that content goes away. Makes a lot of sense but would have never thought of it that way prior.

#6Nice article - It seems lazy to me when people hastily assume snapchat is only used for sexting.
From my experience with younger siblings and their friends, it seems much more mainstream among high schoolers and is genuinely being used as a legitimate communication tool, not just a sexting app.
Is this true or do you think it does lend to more of a sexting crowd/behavior?

#7Since snaps disappear seconds after they are opened, users feel comfortable sending spontaneous and personal messages that they would not want ingrained into digital histories.
I donno but taking a screenshot and posting it on FB isn't very difficult. Do people really believe the images 'disappear'?

It does have those connotations at first when people use it I believe. It's just one of those things, I'm sure a lot of people use it for naughty behavior but there's not really a way to do know for sure except surveying. It does make it easy, but in my experience it can be used for non-sexting type things. Just a funny hello or capturing emotion of messages back and forth is quite fun.

Seeing that someone took a screenshot will usually deter you from sending more embarrassing photos in the future.

Yeah they do. It's more of the fact that it alerts the other person when someone does that. If for instance I knew person a's trust in me would be decreased a lot if they knew I tried to save something they didn't want to be saved, then that gives me my own moral I guess gauge as to playing by the rules. If I didn't know the person then obviously the limiting factor my internal gauge might put in is decreased. If a friend trusted me and I let them down and risked a friendship by going around that then the barrier is higher. OF course that doesn't stop me from just being a bad friend, taking something private and making it public either. So there's still risk and trust involved.
