I have no huge issue with moving to a more IM-based interaction as my default, but I've yet to find one that is actually compatible with them all. I need 3-5 apps to communicate to everyone right now, and in a few years some of those will be gone and new ones will be added.

- ryandrake 9y agoAt least HTML can be trivially converted to text. Who wants to bet that your conversations in WhatsApp, or WeChat, or Facebook, or whatever the kids are using today, are binary blobs that require a running, proprietary "app" to view, or only available through a cloud service?
