According to John Carney Wall Street has long been plagued
by a very special type of communication problem: All too often over the last
couple of decades, the words and images Wall Streeters have transmitted
electronically have come back to bite then in the, umm, assets under
management.
You know what I'm talking about. ….Somehow Wall Street never
seems to learn the lessons of these moments. Be careful whom you email etc.. .
Suddenly, this summer, many seem to have found that Snapchat
is the best way to do this…. Of course,
as Kenneth Roose points out, there's no real way to measure this. All the
evidence is anecdotal. And, for now, it's mostly confined to the younger set on
Wall Street. But it is ubiquitous with them. Every summer intern I've
encountered is on Snapchat, as are quite a few analysts and associates. At the
vice president level, usage drops off dramatically….. Snapchat, for those of
you who don't know, lets users send pictures over your mobile device that self
destruct after a few seconds—leaving no trace. There's no permanent status
update that your boss—or the SEC—can find. Some phones can take a screenshot of
the image, however, so you still have to be careful what you send around….
