This is stupid. We now have stories in 10 different apps. Who thought this was a good idea?

I think Facebook are gripping at anything to appear that they're still relevant

1+ (2?) billion users. You make it sound like they're a has-been.

1.86B as of December.

I don't think it's a question of them being desperate to look 'relevant' as much of them just being afraid to lose market share.

Enough people use Facebook and either don't use Snapchat or use Facebook for other types of communication that SC couldn't really kill FB. But it would definitely hurt.

> Who thought this was a good idea?

People who like snapchat?

Wrong.
