The Snap Map is a feature that lets you see where all your friends on the platform were at any given time – provided they were okay with sharing that info. Now there’s a version of Snap Map available for anyone to view on the web -- Snap Map for Web.
Reminds me of the Facebook Live Map.
Snap's quietly moving into Yelp/Foursquare territory. I wouldn't doubt if Snap's already circling Foursquare for an acquisition.
The most interesting part of this is that I think this is the beginning of having Snaps and Stories live outside of the 👻 garden.
If you click into a story you can now copy a link or get embed code!

About time Snapchat makes a move! The ability to communicate, create, and build community through Snapchat is far superior than any other platform. I only wish more practitioners were out there preaching about its capabilities so people could really see the power of Snapchat. Especially from the business perspective, Snapchat has had to be where your people already are up until this point but I see this as a huge milestone in stepping forward!
If this goes well, more and more media outlets will start embedding Stories from Snap Map for breaking news (such as Hurricane Harvey, Las Vegas Shooting etc.)
Eventually, it will reach Twitter/Facebook/News to the older audiences- people Snapchat is trying to lure in 2018.
I'm not a fan of SnapChat, but this Snap Map is very cool and I spent a good hour playing around with it last night visiting countries all over the world. Very cool.
Great product that creates new opportunities for brands. While I wouldn't thin that Snapchat's core audience would care about the web version of the Snap Map, brands can create event opportunities and they can actually embed the link to the public story on their website or share the direct link on social media.
So this move is targeting businesses and preparing Snapchat for a bigger move towards making a compelling offer for brands (including future ad products within Snap Map).
