Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple
Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps... like Apple’s own iMessage.
You're viewing a single thread.
Imagine a world where we can adopt a scalable, secure, open communication protocol where users can use whatever app they want. Imagine humanity moving past the diaspora of special-snowflake chat apps and on to better things.
Move on? Hell you could just move back to xmpp when people were using aim, gtalk, trillian clients, digsby, nimbuzz...
Some of us are old enough to remember the golden era.
But then we wouldn’t have the subtle culture warfare over blue and green messages.
Capitalism: “No.”
But I wouldn't earn money, as we are currently forcing people to use our services/products.
Future generations will never know our pain
We live in this world. We can adopt such a protocol. The hardest step is to convience your friends to install an app that supports it, because duopoly named Googloid and Apple iOS is not going to make it simple.
