Really love how the Telegram engineering team is shaping up the future for fans. I can think of a range of possibilities already. I have been using Telegram for everything from Twitter access to broadcasting blog posts. Have been looking building a Buffer bot lately too. The new chatbot payments will possibly bring around more interest in developers.

Is this what people should be switching to from Hangouts? I've been exploring options but I don't want to switch my family over until I'm sure.

@livejamie Yes. I've been using it for friends and family since Facebook picked up WhatsApp. We currently have 4+ family/friends groups (all family, nerdy talk, gaming, dev, etc). The location sharing features, voice (and now video) snippets, Giphy/YouTube/etc bots, etc all make it worth it. I actually had just finished a schpiel to a friend on how to conv… See more

@jadojodo @livejamie pls can you share your shpiel - I'm constantly trying to get people to switch, but the better feature set doesn't seem to counter the network effect enjoyed by WhatsCrap. Looking for any and all suggestions / ideas to convert. Ta.

Jordan Finnigan@jadojodo · Developer
@jnmclaren @livejamie I would be happy to! I tend to tailor it to the person. The biggest barrier to adoption is community; No one wants to use an app that they only know one person on (you!). I combat this by frequently messaging the people I convert and demoing features to them even after they’ve joined. This also means showcasing new features when they we… See more

@telegram The best alternative to Whatsapp after it became a Snapchat clone!

@sankethbe @telegram Whatsapp is not even close. Telegram is like Google, Whatsapp - just a Bing

Why to creat so many message sending Apps?

Alfonso C. Betancort@abetancort · CDO, Sensamatics
@khanum_nikoghosyan it's Economic Darwinism doing its job. In a continuous cycle of seeking an unstable and dynamic equilibrium. The market incentive for appearance of independent permutations of a product is directly proportional to its success, unless patent protected or otherwise. At an any given moment the permutation fittest to market will tend to oust … See more

What started out as a clone has gone on to become a pretty influential product in the market. Love what they have been doing.

Does any one see an opportunity for Telegram to replace Slack ? Does the slack integration make it too hard ?

Vlad Pekh@vlad_pekh · front-end developer
@andres_valera I'm using both (different teams) for almost two years. Slack is still slow as hell, not even close to Telegram.

Arun Sathiya@arunsathiya · Product marketing Freshdesk | Strikebuys
@andres_valera Um, I do not get this point. How would Slack replace Telegram? One primary factor why I like Slack for the current role it does: threaded conversations. That's not available for Telegram.

Arun Sathiya@arunsathiya · Product marketing Freshdesk | Strikebuys
@andres_valera Yes, would be a game-changer if Telegram launches that.

I appreciate the quality of the Telegram product and the payment update shows they are serious about B2C messaging. But are any businesses actually using Telegram for customer communication and if so why so?
