Traditional social media, in the view of our company, has become a bit repetitive. It doesn't feel very good to be marketed to by your friends. Snapchat is different because it says, look, friends aren't valuable to you just because they can get you into a cool party.
Akan lebih baik bagi semua orang jika kita menghapus semuanya secara default dan menyimpan hal-hal yang penting bagi kita.
Generally speaking, the people who come to work at Snapchat believe in personal growth. It's part of why Snapchat's stories are ephemeral, because you will be a different person tomorrow.
I don't want to disrupt anything. We never conceive of our products as disruptive - we don't look at something and say, 'Let's disrupt that.' It's always about how we can evolve this and make this better.
One of the things I'm trying to get better at is apologizing when I make mistakes. That's been a big priority of mine.
Hal yang menyenangkan tentang Snapchat adalah benar-benar kejutan dan kegembiraan yang datang dari belajar bagaimana menggunakannya.
It seems odd that at the beginning of the Internet, everyone decided everything should stick around forever.
Salah satu hal yang ingin saya lakukan adalah meminta maaf saat membuat kesalahan. Itu menjadi prioritas utama saya.
Snapchat changed that perception of deleting something as bad. Online, typically you delete something if it's bad or if it's really embarrassing.
Saat kita berada di area kekanak-kanakan seperti itu, kita lebih tulus dan merasa lebih nyaman dengan teman kita.
It would be better for everyone if we deleted everything by default and saved the things that are important to us.
Kesesuaian terjadi secara alami sehingga kita bisa melupakan betapa kuatnya hal itu ? kita ingin diterima oleh rekan-rekan kita ? kita ingin menjadi bagian dari kelompok tersebut. Hal itu ada dalam hayat kita. Tapi hal-hal yang membuat kita manusia adalah saat kita mendengarkan bisikan jiwa kita dan membiarkan diri kita ditarik ke arah lain.
I snap with my mom. It was a great way for me to see my dog when I was in college. We send selfies, too.
We're kind of looking at a future where people acknowledge the hybridization of digital and analog, and appreciate and understand that they both affect each other.
People are going to copy your product if you build great stuff. Just because Yahoo has a search box doesn't make it Google.
What Snapchat said was if we try to model conversations as they occur, they're largely ephemeral. We may try to write down and save the really special moments, but by and large, we just try to let everything go. We remember it, but we don't try to save it.
There's this weird thing that happens when you contribute something to a static profile. You have to worry about how this new content fits in with your online persona that's supposed to be you. It's uncomfortable and unfortunate.
