Re: game on!

We can definitely try to staff the team more to deliver more sooner, but we need to make sure we're doing the right things. My point about WhatsApp's direction is that if they build substantive features beyond just making SMS free, that could be enough for them to tip markets like the US where SMS is still the primarily platform. Building features like phone number registration probably won't help that in the near term because it's a feature everyone else already has. The bigger question to me is about whether there are some key photos features that we can get to before they do. For example, maybe there's a top level tab in the app that has all the incoming photos you've received in an album/grid view to really highlight and organize the photo sharing piece. That could be really differentiating and help achieve lock in. At a minimum, having all of your photos in a thread stored in an album with a nice album/grid view instead of only being visible in the chronological message thread would be helpful, although that doesn't seem like a defining feature. These are all things you can't do with SMS though. They're reasons to use this app instead of SMS or WhatsApp or anything else. I'd think more about doing something like this than I would about just adding more follow on features, unless I'm missing something.
