(NYSE:SNAP), which is based in Venice, Calif., celebrated its 10th anniversary this quarter. The company offers Snapchat, a camera application that helps people to communicate through short videos and images. The company also provides a suite of content tools for partners to build, edit, and publish snaps and attachments based on editorial content; and Spectacles, which are sunglasses that capture video from a human perspective.

SNAP recently reported its third-quarter earnings results. Its daily active users increased 23% year-over-year to 306 million during the quarter, and its revenue increased 57% year-over-year to $1.07 billion.
