Three Good Reasons Not To Send Nude Photos Via Snapchat

Three Good Reasons Not To Send Nude Photos Via Snapchat: Snapchat has attracted users (and funders) with its offer of photo flashing: the opportunity to send a photo to someone but have it "self-destruct" within 1 to 10 seconds. The promise of consequence-free sexting is attractive enough that the app is currently the fourth most popular in the iTunes store. Teens are reportedly flocking in droves to Snapchat. According to my colleague J.J. Colao, the app is used 30 million times a day, and according to Gigaom, Snapchat is about to nab $8 million in venture funding. Its founders, it should be noted, claim that risque photos are not fueling the app's growth. (However, please do take note of their self-selected promotional image, at right.)
