    SNAPCHAT Inc will start showing advertisements to its users, taking a step towards justifying the US$10 billion valuation investors have placed on the startup.

    Unlike other social-media providers, Snapchat won't be putting ads in people's feeds, which "would be totally rude", the company said in a blog post on Friday.
