Mobile messaging startup Snapchat has rejected an acquisition offer from Facebook Inc that would have valued the company at $3 billion or more, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday.
Facebook representatives reached out to Snapchat in recent weeks to discuss the all-cash deal, which would have been Facebook’s largest acquisition ever, the report said, citing anonymous sources.
Snapchat, which allows consumers to send smartphone photos which automatically disappear after a few seconds, has proven popular among teenage users.
The report of Facebook’s interest in Snapchat comes a couple of weeks after Facebook, the world’s No. 1 Internet social network, acknowledged that it was seeing a decline in daily use by young teenagers in the US, although it said overall use by teenagers was stable.

How Twitter Employees Use Twitter
10:49 AM /

Twitter employees, naturally, use Twitter differently than the rest of us. But in what ways? Specifically, which apps do they use to tweet?
To find out, we used Twitter’s API to analyze approximately 2,700 tweets from the Twitter staff list that were sent last week, including tweets from during the week and weekend, day and night. We then mined each tweet for its “source,” so we can see which apps Twitter employee users tweet from, and compared this to the general public.
Acording to Businessinsider
The tweets we analyzed came from 54 different sources, ranging from Twitter’s official clients to third-party apps like TweetDeck and websites like Yelp, Instapaper, and Quora.
The most popular client was Twitter’s website, which accounted for 32% of tweets. That’s pretty similar to the general public, which uses Twitter.com to send 35% of tweets, according to Sysomos.
But that’s where Twitter employees and the general public stop tweeting like each other.
- Among Twitter employees, Twitter for iPhone generated 22% of the tweets, about twice as much as the general public.
- Employees used Twitter for Mac to send 18% of their tweets, versus 0.4% for the general public. (Probably especially during the week, when Twitter employees are sitting around the office, tweeting at each other.)
- And while the general public uses TweetDeck to send 13% of its tweets, Twitter employees used it for just 2% of their tweets.
Overall, Twitter employees use Twitter’s official apps to send more than 86% of their tweets, while the general public uses them to send about 58% of their tweets
