Group chat is not about communication but also about use. And use cases will definitely vary by group #WhoWillRise #sxswi

#whowillrise Convore, you've taken an open-social approach to group messaging. Do you have plans to compete in the closed-social space also?
|

This panel feels like a conversation between @rwwmike, Martocci and @belugapods' Lucy. Clear leaders. #whowillrise

#whowillrise - question for Steve - how will u keep SMS free if carriers begin charging SMS aggregators per text (as they're threatening)?

Just noticed that 50% of the panel on group chat are women. Coincidence? #whowillrise

When the model is: acquiring friends, fans and followers, you go from being backstage to onstage. Well said Caleb! @yobongo #WhoWillRise

Agreed: group chat claiming back backchannel bc folks on Twitter say what they others want to hear, not what they want to say #whowillrise
