Previously: [1][2] Telegraph appears to be a minimalist anonymous blogging platform, with images and markdown support. It's link of a blank canvas -- pun intended. It's like anonymous gists where the post becomes uneditable once you clear your cookies. It may turn out to be the next great thing, or may turn into an abusive slugfest of scum and spam. Other than it being an experiment, it's clear to me that Telegram is actively looking at ways of increasing time that users spend in its app -- much like every other chat messenger has done in recent years, with bots, in-app browsers, stickers, and integrations. The way to cultivate a walled garden people actually like is to have it be a pleasant and varied garden; this seems to be the way of the game, and it's amusing to see Facebook (through its four platforms), Snapchat, Google (through its 3+ platforms), Kik, Viber, LINE, WeChat, Microsoft, and even Apple and Slack get a piece of this pie.
