a16z Podcast: Messaging is the Medium by a16z published on 2015-04-03T19:33:20Z The potential to turn messaging into a platform is driving much of the excitement in mobile, says a16z’s Benedict Evans. It's a platform through which other apps flow (and where all the users get aggregated). Take for example Facebook's recent announcements, which put it right where it wants to be on the mobile phone -- in control. So what’s next in messaging? And what will Apple, Google, and other players like WeChat have to say about it? Comment by Salam Dillworth Is this A,E,I,O,U?!

The EU needs to take action against all law breakers. Thats having a referee in business. We need referees in business just like we have them in sports or the players cheat. 1. Facebook should not have been allowed to buy Instagram. That is coke buying pepsi. Its against anti-trust law. It hurt consumer choice, privacy, features developed, etc... 2. Facebook also should not have been allowed to use their monopoly Social Network to dominate and take over Instant Messaging. This is also against anti-trust law. 2015/04/15 13:26:14 +0000
