The problem is that nobody would be very interested in that, because nobody thinks Facebook won't keep the photo and stick it on your news feed someday.
Which... is exactly what will happen with this app too.
Got a tip for us?

Just wanted to echo the already-said sentiment that the point of Snapchat is anonimity - we at least hope anything shared has truly has disappeared. But to trust a data-mining company to do this?
To trust Facebook, it is laughable. They have no reputation or reason to be trusted. It would be like Snapchat by google and being surprised to hear they collected statistics and the like for advertising. There would be no shocker there.
Facebook is in the same business. Why else would they be doing this? Charity?

I know its quite funny to say that, but if they say its a snapchat like app it obviously behaves like one. Poke to be honest was a better app than Snapchat was.
Also if people think Snapchat is safe they're daft, I trust Facebook to be less hackable, its very easy to make a middle party for Snapchat and save everyones images, heck you can even download an app on the app store which lets you save peoples incoming messages without them knowing!
Because Facebook's Poke was so successful that it was dead within a couple weeks of release after Zuck told Snapchat they'd be out of business in a week.

Snapchat just admitted that your photos aren't deleted after the federal government went after them.

In the same boat here. Though just guessing, it seems like yet another "HURRY! Instantly post your junk on the net where it will be stored 'temporarily' before your better judgment catches up to you" app.
Stores realized they could increase revenue by provoking impulsive shopping. This is no different.
The instant gratification attention whoredom generation keeps swinging further and further away from sane. I just hope when the pendulum swings back, our kids don't all become Luddites.
I'm telling you what! my space was pretty awesome back in the day! something like that today with its own isp service would be amazing
