"Telegram is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s super fast, simple and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any of your phones, tablets or computers.
With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc), as well as create groups for up to 200 people. You can write to your phone contacts and find people by their usernames. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all your personal or business messaging needs"

@yvolk The business model is interresting : "Telegram is not intended to bring revenue, it will never sell ads and cannot accept outside investment. It also cannot be sold. We're not building a “user base”, we are building a messenger for the people." The client code is free software (GPL v3) but you cannot host your own server ... that's a no go for me

XMPP can do all those things, has really good clients and you can - as opposed to #Telegram - !selfhost with maintained network reach. Are you on XMPP too, @yvolk?
