Noon, to be precise.

Given how cheaply a URL can be registered, and how quickly a 
plausible-looking website can be constructed using a basic corporate 
template, it's become really easy to create "smokescreen" websites that 
just "happen" to be discovered by "accident" in the midst of a 
format-flip stunt. I still maintain that that's probably what "Snap" 
was/is - but we'll see for sure in a few hours...
