Instagram is Developing Another Direct Messaging App to Rival Snapchat

Messaging in Instagram is clunky, why would you want to roll that out into a standalone experience?

Suckerberg says ‘private messaging’ is the future of the company. The guy doesn’t know the meaning of the word private.

Oh he does, ever seen the photo where he has black tape over his laptop's microphone and webcam?

He's just using buzzwords like Apple and Disney, hiding in plain sight. Next he'll be describing the Messenger as being "Magical".

What’s wrong with TXTing? Is it not cool anymore.

Sigh... and there were rumors about Facebook reintegrating their Messenger app with the Facebook app. To be honest, I think the managers at Facebook are as confused about what to do as us, the users.

Incorrect. They just need to keep proposing stuff in order to receive their yearly bonuses.
