Facebook tried to do that and flopped, which is why they're trying to buy snapchat.
They will eventually get it right. The billions they offered is to save them the time/headache of having to worry that the competition will.

I don't know what Snapshot is , but turning down 4 billion bucks from mega corporate companies is stupid especially if it's an app that Facebook and Google wanted. The relevancy of smartphones application doesn't hold up too well unless it is important app that many people need in their daily lives. Snapshot isn't essential to the populace. It is going to die out quick like Words with Friends..

Damn I've been brainstorming a couple app ideas, if anyone has experience creating apps or coding get at me. If only to bounce a couple ideas around.

I think Id disown my son if he turned down $4 billion dollars :ufdup:

If the main guy owned like 20%, that's a cut of $800,000,000.00 for a stupid app.

That's James Bond Villian money.
breh, let me get offered that much money. Bet my mom ridin roun in a pink phantom, the next day breh :banderas:

snapchat's founder is already rich brehs. his parents had money. dude was pushing a 5 series in his teens.


anyway problem with this shyt is...who's gonna buy if not google or facebook? :pachaha: when i first heard about the facebook offer, my first reaction was :banderas: because i figured they had a better offer they might work with. but when i saw they turned down google...:merchant:

despite it's laidback image, google does not fukk around. ask any one of the hardware manufactures they work w/ or anyone whose worked in one of the companies they've acquired. im not familiar with their M&A tactics, but I dont necessarily see them circling back w/ more soon.

Man, let someone offer me $4 Billion, this would be playing in my whip!!!

That much money, I would invite the entire female cast of Love & Hip Hop to my Mansion for an all out Orgy. The killing part is that them whores are ratchet enough to do it, and that's fine by me!!!!!

This tech startup bubble gonna burst soon. Too many apps blowing up overnight with overvalued market caps with little profit to back it up. At least with FB and Google both companies have a solid business model of revenue and plans for the future for expansion. What do these little apps have?
