Re:Hacked Sony Emails Will Change the Way You Look at Snapchat's CEO on Friday December 19, 2014 @12:51PM (#8773362)

To me, this article seemed more like a PR text promoted by Spiegel himself (turning an incident into an advantage), than a violation of his privacy.

I've read many articles in the past that teased him or called him a "dick". This particular one is simply on a different level. I really respect his opinions on the new mobile market, and how he values to be a revenue generating company, contrary to the companies Snapchat was competing against at the time.

Hey Carlotta, what are your assumptions when using the graphs? how do you conclude to base your forecast on a linear or a quadratic etc model?

I love how you defined "rise of anthropology over algorithm in social mobile apps". I strongly believe that Yo will help reshape mobile communications; will be kind of a similar impact like what Snapchat brought to instant photo sharing.
