Comment on Snapchat Hiring Massive Sales Team, Said To Be Raising $100M At $1B To Pay Themparent

I would love to see Facebook try to acquire Snapchat. They were so arrogant when they launched Poke, claiming they made the entire app in 12 days. I thought it was pretty low to make a full blown copy of Snapchat.

I actually wonder to what extent Facebook really planned Poke. The way it was always described, a small team built it over the course of a weekend- I can see it being a random project people decided to do that got launched without any major strategy behind it.
