It has been my messenger of choice for about 6 of these 7 years and watching its evolution has been pretty cool.

It's grown to be a much wider social platform now than it used to be, but it hasn't distracted from personal chats much. That's pretty amazing! It hasn't even been destroyed by commercial interests yet and my feeling says that Durov will approach commercialization carefully, which gives me hope.

It's definitely one of the nicest IM services around. Well built apps with useful features that look good and are available everywhere. I was never able to get enough of my friend group on it to really make use of it, though.
