This is so wrong at many levels. The reason why apps and companies are focussed in getting the 16-22 year olds are

1. They have very high power in changing their parents purchases.

2. Their word of mouth power is exponential compared to a guy who is 30 years old working in corporation.

3. 16-22 year olds are going to become 20-28 year olds in 4 years which is a real threat to facebook. This generation doesn't want to be part of Facebook.


Well i think you have never used snapchat. Everyone in this thread are not all accounted in the TAM for snapchat. Before concluding that they should sell or not, i recommend people to use snapchat for six months. Snapchat is a product which provides delightful experiences to communicate with your friends where you can express yourself as the way you are, instead of waiting for a trophy moment.

Well, SNAP DAP > TWTR DAP, TWTR Average time spent per day: 1-2 minutes SNAP Average time spent per day: 30-35 minutes. So SNAP has 30X potential than dead twitter with no product innovation.


"can express yourself as the way you are, instead of waiting for a trophy moment"

And then someone takes a screenshot and "blackmails" you with it later (read this concept of snap-blackmailing somewhere else just today)
