Snapchat, the latest social-media fad in the States has rejected a $3BN offer from Facebook
Snapchat, the latest social-media fad in the States has rejected a $3BN offer from Facebook. The application allows users to send each other snaps, short messages or photos that auto-delete in less than 10 seconds. According to some sources China's Tencent is also courting the company and has offered to lead an investment that would value two-year-old Snapchat at $4 billion. Evan Spiegel, Snapchat's 23-year-old co-founder and CEO, is unlikely to consider an acquisition or an investment until early next year, the people briefed on the matter said. They said Spiegel is hoping Snapchat's numbers - of users and messages - will grow enough by then to justify an even larger valuation, the people said. (VIEW LINK)
