For piggybacking on the local devices' contacts: What makes e-mails different than phone numbers?
For app-specific contacts: They can store and sync conversation logs. I don't see how contact lists would be harder.
- tptacek 7y agoThe fact that most people don't have email addresses for all their contacts? The application has to work for most people, not you.
- Legogris 7y agoI still don't see how these have to be mutually exclusive. Fine, default to phone number since that's what most people are comfortable with, but it's not like there's anything inherent making supporting alternative identifiers a difficult problem. Let it be my problem making my friends add my e-mail address to their contacts.
