I know both of our experiences are anecdotal, but the way I see people asking for their snap is pretty lax. Snap or Kik is how I see in many ways the first contact that millenials ask for passive connections whether it be online or irl. For more closer connections its a phone number and fb messenger in the US.

>close a friend someone is by how many connections they have to other friends in a user's network

Again every messaging app that asks for contacts has these connections. FB messenger, Line, Wechat etc has more data points than snap when it comes to this.

>I'm not at all disappointed we're comparing more with Facebook

I would actually compare it closer to twitter. If they are going in the direction of media as they've already announced they are building an interest graph.
