I've heard nothing about Wire recently.

Wickr.com is another similar service that claims to be end-to-end encrypted, but again I haven't seen much about them at all.

I think no news is good news in this case. And a positive for Wire is that since it's all open source, you can go right to their github and see how active their development is.

It would be nice if The Intercept and other journalists would include these actually E2E-encrypted alternatives besides the Mac/iOS-only FaceTime.
