Out of curiousity, what's the value-add of Pair versus just using SMS/MMS? I looked at their website but I didn't "get it".

- ktusznio 14y agoFrom what I gather, it's supposed to feel more intimate and personal than the generic feel you have when using an SMS/MMS client.
- brk 14y agoPart of it is certainly the novelty factor. You can only be "paired" with exactly 1 other person. Part of it (for me), is that communications with my wife are via a separate stack, separate notifications that are easier to manage, and the ability to share more than you can in MMS (a silly sketch, or a map location). Pair cuts out all the "noise" of other systems and gives you something that makes you feel like communications with that one other person are something more unique and "out of band" than all your other notification streams. Personally, I haven't figured out if Pair is a product or a feature, but that doesn't really matter to me right now.
- artmageddon 14y agoNot too much, but it makes people feel nice by having an app that they know is shared with one other person. All the features within it can be replicated by using a combination of other apps(Draw Something, SMS, some kind of social-shared to-do list, etc.) but Pair brings it together nicely. The last girl I dated and I used it, and it was silly fun.
