I'm still bullish on Snapchat, but it needs to keep adding new features. It's the only social network that gets ephemerality.

I don't really see a reason to delete Facebook over the privacy drama, I fail to see how it has much to do with the management or anything. Any Facebook replacement one comes up with, would face all the same dilemmas.

What many outside of the privacy-conscious circles are tired of is this whole concept of everything being permanent online. Of having some behavior from years ago haunt you forever. There's where ephemerality comes in.

Ephemeral content isn't a solution. The problem with any of these services is that your content, ephemeral or not, never actually goes away.
