Messaging Is the One Thing People Do More Than Anything Else on Their Phone
&gt; The app I am developing will combine all forms of communication into one simple application. This will help people digest and send messages &#x2F; emails from one central location.<p>This is not a problem the average user is having. Anyone remember the &quot;IM wars&quot;? Most people happily installed all IM programs their friends were on, thus solving the problem. Only a small handful of nerds thought this was intolerable, and installed Adium or Trillian or Miranda or any of the other multi-network instant messengers, and suffered every time an actual network would upgrade or change their protocol.<p>This time around, people&#x27;s smartphones are already the unifier. All messaging apps have notifications, so your phone will tell you what everyone is saying across networks, and you just tap to go straight into whatever app the message was in.
