I did a find before posting my comment and found yours. "Cool I like Wordpress. But they bought a fancy Pidgin clone for 50mil...? https://pidgin.im/ https://pidgin.im/" I didn't see the value $50 mill either. My immediate thought is many people use instant messaging but don't call it that they call it texts. The only reason I can see this being even a little popular is because automatic somehow comes out with a nice mobile app which looks to be in development. But also, if they convince people to pay to test. Which looks like they will "Billed yearly". It's an interesting move. I don't think I will be a customer, but I'm curious to see how it pans out.. At a risk of dating myself. I remember when AIM was free, and free video game Demos came in the mail and in magazines. So I don't see how paying for all of these apps that are free makes any sense. I suppose it would be a perfect tool for an individual to messages many people on many different networks with a couple of the baked in features. But man 100+ bucks a year to prevent the information overload that I created seems like not a good spend for me.
