No, Snapchat Isnt About Sexting, Says Co-Founder Evan Spiegel

snapchat-2The minute you tell someone that images on your server disappear, everyone jumps to sexting.Evan Spiegel laughed and leaned back into his chair during his first sitdown interview since his iPhone app Snapchat blew up over the last month. Snapchatis #12 on the free iOS photo app charts in the U.S. andjust scored some mainstream media attention in The New York Times.Plus, we hear that Snapchat has also impressed Facebook's internal product leadership and even Zuck himself.Why? Snapchat is a photo-sharing app that changes privacy norms in a very novel way. The free app allows users to send others photos and control how long receivers can see them. These photos last for up to 10 seconds, before they disappear forever.It seems odd that at the beginning of the Internet everyone decided everything should stick around forever, Spiegel said. I think our application makescommunication a lot more human and natural."
