I agree with this. At the risk of sounding nebulous, snapchat 'feels' different. It feels personal like the handwritten notes you pass in classrooms.

A text is more like someone handing a a slip of paper with a typed message.

An email is like someone handing you an 8.5x11 piece of paper.

Snapchat lets you be really gestural, for instance I draw on >95% of my snaps. In instances where I want to add text I draw it on with my finger.

The last snap I sent was to my girlfriend, it was an image of our dog with a ripped up shoe, I scrawled "How mad are you?" on it.
