Ask HN: Snapchat, the harbringer of the bubble?

I agree that there is a huge market for this functionality. But it seems less like a business and more just a feature of the phone or something that should exist by default.
How many users does it have?
It will actually tell you if your friend takes a screenshot.
I'm not sure why you think it's bluffware, they've obviously identified a major market for transient internet communications.
Yes, the tech's not perfect yet, but they've hit a nerve and have a lot of users.

So default functionality can essentially invalidate their entire angle in the texting game. The only way this has an 800M valuation is if it is acquired, which is pure speculation. This isn't even vaporware its bluffware.
