So every time there is a bit of news around Telegram, we always seem to post it in some Whatsapp thread.

So, let's give it its own thread! Especially since this:

Many of those who use Telegram swear by it. Not just because the messenger app is great, but because the developer keeps adding cool and innovative features, expanding to other platforms, and generally outclassing the competition in several areas. But what Telegram lacked so far are active users. It doesn't matter how awesome your messaging client is if no one you know is using it.

But Telegram is catching up to the competition (all of which shall not be named in this article, we're going to honor Telegram here). Some of you will say it had to do with that other service being sold to that third service, or to some service suffering from an outage, or to any number of reasons, but the truth is that Telegram is growing and the reason doesn't matter as long as the result is that more people are using it.

Today the team announced two interesting stats that are sure to make every Telegram fan happy: there are now 100 Million monthly active users on the service and 350,000 new users are signing up each day. Not only that, but the service is delivering 15 Billion daily messages. Do your math and you'll see that it's about 150 messages per user, if all active monthly users were also active every day. That's a lot.

Congrats Telegram and may you grow up and become a phone call one day.

This thread is like the platform - good idea, but hardly anyone on it...
 
Everyone I care about is now on Telegram. Only my neighbourhood group is still on Whatsapp.
We recently hooked up our generator at work to telegram. Now we get notifications when mains fails, the generator is running, low fuel alerts, and equipment failure. It's awesome having an open API :D
 
Checkign in.

sorry I was having lunch.

I have tomorrow left until I uninstall whatscrapp. I cannot wait.

also Nuro that is freaking AMAZING.

if you think about the amount of services that are sending out SMSes these days, I wonder if there is not merit to implimenting something like that on server notifications as well. it would be really cool.

Cool maybe, but not for business critical applications. SMS is guaranteed delivery as long as there is cell signal, whereas WhatsApp/Telegram requires a data connection for sender and recipient...
 
Telegram supporter checking in! I was the key player in moving my friends over to it :D Although we were all looking for an alternative that'll work nicely on the phone and PC back in the day.

This was before WhatsApp on PC - not that it counts.

Nope. SMS is most certainly NOT a guaranteed delivery channel. I'm subcontracted to Vodacom as a developer, and even they (VC) says SMS is not guaranteed.
