Here’s Google’s @sanazahari talking about how messaging apps need to evolve to include more ways to manage texts - a la Gmail - esp with business, personal, and work messages all going to the same phone # (I would like a separate spot for 2FA texts kthx.) https://t.co/kpUk3r6qhG https://t.co/wvG51rYETS — PolitiTweet.org

@boekelley I don’t honestly know how it would play out. Could carriers really drop sms if the iPhone didn’t support RCS? Will carriers EVER drop SMS? It’s all very uncertain. — PolitiTweet.org

(Also included in this episode is what may be my seventh or eighth “No comment” from Apple on the subject of RCS on the iPhone. 🙃) — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Included in this episode, some of the ideas Google has for future features for the Messages app. The one that made me perk up is how texting apps have very bad tools for managing and organizing threads, but maybe gmail has some concepts that could translate. — PolitiTweet.org

Produced by me, @liamhjames, and @andrumarino (the sound design on this one is so good). And just look at this custom RCS illo from @alexcas_io I mean my god: https://t.co/0ZvmvQLbNc — PolitiTweet.org

@dav_i This is a huge debate! I was always a reed person myself, but @ashleyrcarman convinced me that red makes more sense — PolitiTweet.org

You knew it would have to happen. An entire Vergecast about it was inevitable. Let’s chat about RCS https://t.co/kpUk3r6qhG — PolitiTweet.org

@ShiraOvide @reckless @alexrkonrad Which is to say every time I hear Cook say it about a new thing I think of Sculley which, ouch. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@ShiraOvide @reckless @alexrkonrad I just feel the need to point out that in the debate between “Mother of all Markets” and “Pipe dream driven by greed” (Palm had a sign on the wall with these phrases and an arrow, changing per day) … … ... … John Sculley was right. https://t.co/XT3H3tkyXW — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@ShiraOvide @reckless @alexrkonrad oh ha that was the linked article. Did Cook stop using “mother of all” because Google is still in early days of learning to stop saying early days — PolitiTweet.org

@dcseifert we should really update this with 9 more years of the phrase “doubling down” being a lie. https://t.co/Fru6DpIeAV — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

If Twitter actually makes good on these API promises, it would be a massive rollback of its terrible policies limiting 3rd party apps from so long ago. I want to believe… But I also see it used the phrase “doubling down” so. https://t.co/s1lakKC4jn — PolitiTweet.org
