I have both a Facebook portal and a Sidekick (I work at YC) and I find there to be a huge difference between the UI of the Portal and how I use my Sidekick.

Before YC I worked at Airbnb and before that I worked at Voxer which was a pioneering company in asynchronous voice. A phone call is either on or off. Asynchronous is different and the other side and choose to participate or not. Facebook portal is to video what a phone call is to voice. Sidekick is much more what like Voxer is to voice.
