Google留痕霸屏：为什么Snapchat在中国无法复制海外成功？
核心观点/Key Insight: Snapchat的"阅后即焚"功能在美国青少年群体中找到了精准需求场景，但中国社交生态和用户习惯的差异使其难以本土化成功。Snapchat's "disappearing messages" feature found perfect product-market fit among US teens, but failed to localize in China due to ecosystem differences.

2011年诞生的Snapchat最初定位为情侣私密通讯工具，但真正引爆点是成为美国橘郡中学生课堂"数字纸条"工具。Launched in 2011 as a couples' messaging app, Snapchat's breakthrough came when it became Orange County students' "digital note-passing" tool.
关键数据/Key Metrics:
• 早期90%活跃时段集中在学校上课时间（9am-3pm）
