Was launched by google a group messaging offering, Disco, both as an online service and as an iPhone app. The new service will face competition from apps like GroupMe, Fast Society, Kik, and Beluga.
It's apps lets you organize group messaging with your contacts in a unified interface.Almost exactly like competing services, Disco requires that you sign up with a cell phone number; after that, you can set up groups of friends and contacts to communicate with.
Disco’s interface is more different than just an application group messaging, supporting fewer features, but that may not necessarily be a bad thing: It adds to the speediness of the app. The web interface is also stark compared to those of some similar applications in their earlier releases.
As a result of Slide’s autonomy, the app is currently only available on the iPhone (and not Google’s own mobile OS, Android), and supports full integration with Facebook to import your friends’ details (again, not with any of Google’s own services). Can Google’s Disco help carry it all the way?
