Bonus: Add Friends via QR Code

Apart from the above mentioned ways of adding people on Snapchat, there's one more unique way.

Let's say you met someone at the party, and you decided to connect with him on Snapchat. Instead of asking for the username, all you have to do is to open snapchat on your phone, and point it to the ghost icon of other person's snapchat. Tap on screen once, and you're connected.

Snapchat QR Code

The Ghost icon works as QR code and every user has their own QR code. You can take screenshot of the ghost icon of your profile and share it among your friends on other social sites. They can point their Snapchat on the QR code to add you. Simple, isn't it?

So, that's how you find and add people/friends on Snapchat. If you face any difficulty, feel free to ask in comments.
