I don't understand why the new chat protocols and clients focus solely on mobile (phone?) platforms. Why aren't there more desktop clients ?

- _august 12y agoAbsolutely. All the messaging platforms I regularly use have a way to use them on the desktop. Facebook, Google Hangouts, Google Voice and Telegram.
- yoshyosh 12y agoNext time you are out, check out what most people are doing on their phones. SMS dominates usage so much. Most people don't use desktop chat outside of tech
- johnchristopher 12y agoI don't own a smartphone and I use SMS a lot. But I barely use online chat system nowadays (MSN/AIM used to be the rage within my peers circle but it's now gone and fb chat or g+hangout didn't replace it).
