With Skype itself being acquired by Microsoft, it's hard to imagine GroupMe remaining a standalone product--or even as elegantly simple as it is now.

- caryme 15y agoEven if they do, I have the feeling that the loser in this purchase is Twilio. I have a hard time imagining Skype or eventually Microsoft paying Twilio to handle their telephony infrastructure.
- omfut 15y agoSkype already has its own infrastructure to support Voice and SMS. Iam pretty sure twilio will be out of the picture the moment the deals is done.
