To me, the article seemed to make more of a point for SnapChat becoming one of the standard social media apps, rather than a messaging app. There will always need to be an accompaniment for messages that need to last. Also, like the article said, SnapChat Chat isn't used that much. Honestly, I use it, but only for schetchy things I don't want on my sms. The article seems like a lot of speculation based on up coming updates, but even those I doubt would make it the standard messaging app. As part of what is likely it's prime demographic (middle-class teenaged American), I see it used a lot among my peers as a side app to standard sms or Kik, and changes coming seem to be too little, too late to make it a great messaging app.
