What's s great about snapchat and kik?

Snapchat seems kind of stupid in my (admittedly severely limited) experience, and kik is just some random messaging app. So what's so great about those specific things that everyone has to use them. Isn't talking on here enough? I genuinely don't understand the hype

Kik is decent because it has codes you can scan for group chats and stuff. Snapchat is just way for stupid teenagers to exchange photographs of their reproductive organs.

That was my impression of snapchat, so it's good to know it was correct. Kik sounds like it's got at least something over this place

@Kiwi-Dan: Except SW is more of a community thing, where Kik is for messaging.

@IchBin2: That's true. It might still be something worth looking into though

Kik sends notifications when you're not on there which sw doesn't

It was my choice to get the phone I guess

I don't use kik but Snapchat started out as like video feed thing, you get to record snippets of your life or take pictures... it's a lot like Instagram. I rarely use it for the chat but that to me is a secondary function. Snapchat falls in the same category as Instagram and Vine to me. It's just a way for you to show quick snippets of your life.

I don't see it being similar to this site at all.... this site is geared towards questions and stories, and again the PM to me is a secondary function. This site to me is like a busy room where you wander around having fun conversations, occasionally making friends.

and kik sends you a notification so you can check to see if its a "douchebag" trying to contact you

Same I don't get what the big deal is
SW-User
I'm glad I'm not the only one!

They are not the same. None of them are for the same purpose. And if you do not get it...that is fine...do not use it then. Simple..not sure why there is a need to understand what entertains other people.

I get that they're not the same. What I'm trying to ask is what their purpose is, and how they differ from this site.
