Of course, but it's amazing that a start up with such basic features has gotten to the point where you can compare it to texting or email as far as engagement.

- ulfw 13y agoWhat do you mean? IT IS TEXTING! It's texting via a TCP connection and with the help of Apple's and Google's push messaging servers instead of going through the SMS channel of a GSM network. As a product it's the exact same as SMS/MMS. Just the technical implementation is different.
- habosa 13y agoWell that different technical implementation made it much more attractive to millions of people worldwide. Sounds like a win. Also I don't think they use Apple and Google's push servers since this also runs on J2ME devices, Windows phone, Symbian, etc.
- ulfw 13y agoOf course they're not using Apple's push servers on J2ME devices. They're using it on iOS. Of course they're not using Google's push servers on Windows Phone devices. They're using it on Android.... How else would you get notified? Also I never said it wasn't attractive. I just tried to explain that conceptionally as a product it's the same as text messaging and should thus have similar Daily to Monthly User ratios.
