So is Google buying Snapchat for 30 billion this week?
 

Lots of reports indicating it might, and Google's tests it's own Snapchat Cline, a typical step it takes to pressuring platforms to let Google buy them. Google's Snapchat cline is dubbed "Stamp"

That would be interesting

i´m having problems downloading snapchat onto my windows phone :(

What is a cline???

Cline???

google should stay away from social they suck at it.

I agree. Google in social is like a bald obese middle aged corporate executive going to a rave :2 cents:

Read your original post! You wrote Cline twice

Fucking autocorrect on my phone! Snapchat client. Damnit thanks for the heads up :1orglaugh

Does Snapchat make any money? We use Snapchat. We use it with our best friend and her kids; It's brought our families closer together.

They can afford it, so why not.

Good for them...

Same. Not missing it though.

:1orglaugh

Google goes down in flames every time it tries to clone or mimic someone else's platform. I can't see why this should turn out differently.

If Google buys SNAP, it's a sign that Google has turned in the 2010's version of YAHOO in the 2000s. NOT a good look.

Remember the Geocities and Broadcast.com buyouts?

Exactly.

Maybe google should hire a 100% female staff to build a social network;
since the guys can't seem to get it right because of genetics.

:1orglaugh

everyone is moving to Instagram stories, why the hell buy snapchat???

Just for the fuck of it??

To compete with Facebook

heyyyy, that hits close to home!

I'd be very surprised if they did.

Raves suck :winkwink:

did you read this too?

I read somewhere that it was a rumor that they we're floating a 30B offer months before the IPO. Many Google VC's are heavily involved with snap anyway arent they?

Yes and WPP just infused another $100 million to Snap and are set for another $200 million this month I think.

They should sell to Google, Snap has lost a lot of the zing it used to have and Instagram is going to make a lot more profits than Snap has a chance to make on its own :2 cents:

Isn't it amazing that there's a possibility your little phone application could make you filthy rich? The kind of rich where you live on a 200 ft yacht and get gangraped on the high seas by a harem of strippers.

Interesting times we're in :1orglaugh

Yeappers!! :2 cents:
Good for them!!

What's Snapchat? LOL
