It was a pretty successful debut for Snap Inc SNAP. The stock closed up 44 percent at $24.48, giving the tech company a valuation more than three times the size of Twitter Inc TWTR, among many others.
So what did everyone think of Snap's first day as a public company?
Chris Sacca forlornly remembers the one that got away.
I know one person who isn't getting rich in the Snapchat IPO. Hint: the guy who didn't reply to this email.

Darren Rovell puts a 100-yard scope on the day's proceedings.
The @Snapchat IPO is such big news that my dentist & his tech were talking about it while I had 6000 implements in my mouth.

The companies are apples and oranges, but they're space apples and an orange with a dog nose.

How far internet companies have come, thanks to Peter Shankman.
The ghost of Internet's past materializes at the #SNAP #IPO with the following warning: "Remember https://t.co/5CZXXPQQp7..."

Sacca nods in agreement.
#SnapIPO probably will succeed for the wrong reasons: not for a growing #TAM rather a #FOMO from investors.

Great things coming from humble beginnings.
Remember when @Snapchat was marketed mostly for safe sexting? And now @Snap is valued at 33B. Sexting their way to $$$ #snapipo

And the wealth got spread around a bit from overzealous traders.
