And this was the case with everyone I interacted with - we all just used text really. Some of us used chat apps on the computer, and I knew one other person with a BlackBerry who I could BBM, but on mobile it was SMS/MMS.
Compare that with Europe where data plans were more accessible and things like BBM, WhatsApp could proliferate.
I still think text messaging is king in the US - all Apple did is put enhanced features into the normal texting app. No one changed behaviors.
Listening to the Vergecast with @davidpierce and Eric Migicovsky from Pebble. Unorganized thoughts…
- Dude I miss the Pebble. I’m starting to become a watch boy and I think I’m going to pull it out of storage and add it to the rotation.
- I was in college from 2013 to 2017 and GroupMe was THE group messaging app. It is a complete piece of shit but had a stranglehold on my college campus - I’m still stuck in some old GroupMes from that time.
Me running shortcuts: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me editing shortcuts: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

That time a company clumsily stole IP from Apple, and the story of Apple's sweet, clever revenge.
A great, short read. 🍿
I am so mentally and emotionally ready to retire.
I am so *not* financially ready to retire.
PS: It’s not about where I work or what I do at work.

Hey @viticci @dcseifert or any other iPad enthusiasts.
Do you guys have a recommendation of an email client - the native app and Outlook don’t let me change my keyboard shortcuts to be like Gmail, and the Gmail app just doesn’t seem like it understands what a keyboard is.
What are you all using?
