Snapchat is a messaging platform that’s so cool that the primary way to connect two people is by using… a QR code. Or at least it did, since its creators are now rolling out a way for you to add friends by creating a URL. That means that if you want to add Engadget to your feed, you can do so by heading over to snapchat.com/add/gadgetsnaps. It’s not clear if this will make Snapchat more acceptable to the people who think it has a awful user interface, or if doing so will make the service less desirable to millennials. Either way, it’s probably better pointing people to a URL than trying to make sharing a screenshot of a QR code seem cool.
