Snapchat was released in September 2011 and I even though I'm pretty late to the party just getting on board with it about a month or so ago, I really like it!
Have you ever been in a room with someone who smugly points out that everyone in the room is glued to their smart phone? It's usually someone who doesn't own a smart phone, doesn't get the attraction of a smart phone, and basically has no knowledge of what its like to be diagnosed with FOMO (the Fear of Missing Out).
Somebody needs to get Newt Gingrich and his 'team' up on the latest technology, because they have apparently been doing pointless research on cell phones.
