Green texts in iMessages nudge teens to use iPhones
rrabu said:When they first announced iMessage Steve Jobs said they were opening it up as an open standard. That was back when tech mattered more to Apple than money. Really too bad we now have these million different closed messaging systems instead…

Jobs indicated FaceTime would be an open standard, though. Speculation as to why that hasn't happened includes issues with patents owned by others. -

Apple led the way, now the others want it to conform. Yeah, sure.
I never understood why Europeans went "whole hog" for WhatsApp. WhatsApp won't do anything until the user gives FaceBook access to their entire contacts, which you know gets uploaded whole hog to the mother roach. Before FB owned WhatsApp, it was the same way, and when the news came out that FB was buying the company, I was relieved to not have used it. Signal demands access to contacts, too, but doesn't upload or store them--or so they say.
