Communication problems

One of the things I realized  lately is the presence of dozens of communication tools, for instance WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, IRC, Google Talk, Skype, SMS etc. Every platform has its own pros and cons.

I have decided to dump all of these platforms except for Facebook Messenger, Skype and Twitter.

My choice for these 3 platforms is simple:

  • Facebook Messenger has great features and a wide contact list.
  • Skype is the number one for voice communication
  • Twitter is perfect for text-communication with people all over the world, but lacks the addressbook and user amount of Facebook

Bye Bye Hyves, Bye Bye FourSquare

Aside

I have just deleted my hyves account (dated 2006) and FourSquare account (2009) .

Why I deleted my Hyves account:

  • Slow
  • Copies all ideas from Facebook
  • Facebook is better

Why I deleted my FourSquare account:

  • What`s the point of checking in?
  • Facebook Places
