I've been using Telegram for about a year now and after a long fought battle, I was able to get all my friends onto it.

Truly the best group-chat platform I have used. It works extremely fast, and feels more polished and focused than whatsapp.

Whatsapp has too much going on, the fact that they store images/videos on your phone, and when you switch to different client or a different device your chat history does not follow with you. (I know you can "backup" and then "import" chats, but I mean come on.. thats a lot of work, not to mention you miss out on messages sent in between the switch)

And the most impressive Telegram? The search! Oh man the search... I have no idea how Telegram can index and search hundreds of thousands of messages INSTANTLY and take me back to a conversation I had over a year ago without so much as a delay.

Pavel, CEO of Telegram must be burning through money, but I really do hope they last.
