Stop me if you've heard this one before: An untested social media company with no revenue gets a mind-blowing offer. Against all advice, the cocky, twentysomething CEO refuses to sell. Meanwhile, competitors come out of the woodwork with lawsuits claiming their ideas were ripped off.

如果您以前听过这句话，那就当我没说：一家未经考验，没有任何收入的社交媒体公司获得一个令人晕眩的的报价。不顾所有人的建议，那位自命不凡，二十出头的CEO拒绝出售。与此同时，不知从哪儿冒出来的竞争对手突然发起诉讼，言之凿凿地声称他们的创意被窃取了。

The parallels between Snapchat, the upstart "sexting" service, and social media behemoth Facebook (FB) in its early days are uncanny. We all know how well Zuckerberg's long bet paid off (not to mention how thoroughly he vanquished those dastardly Winklevoss twins). Could Snapchat's future be just as bright?

迅速崛起的“色情短信”服务商Snapchat与早期的社交媒体巨头Facebook具有令人不可思议的相似性。我们现在都知道扎克伯格早早就投下的赌注获得了多大的成功（更不必说他还彻底击败了卑劣的文克莱沃斯孪生兄弟）。那么，Snapchat能否拥有同样光明的未来？
