Silly question: What the hell is SnapChat? I feel like Cave Man living under rocks. I looked up SnapChat's website and there is hardly any info or encouragement why I should use this thing. It totally smells like Instagram which also I never used and know no one who uses it to date. I guess I'm just not cool.

Instagram has 150 Million MAUs. The fact that you don't know anyone who uses it says a lot more about you than it does about them.
It's a mobile app that people, mostly teens, use to send pictures to friends. The user can choose how many seconds each picture will be viewable and after the timeout, it's gone.
