Telegram gives you an instant and direct communication channel with companies. I'm part of a few official telegram groups of a few crypto projects and also a few interest groups pertaining to a diverse set of topics.
While I don't check these groups every day, a quick glance every once in a while helps me keep in sync with everyone. Unlike Facebook and Twitter, I'm not bombarded with marketing posts. I think Telegram just might be a new kind of communication channel altogether. Question is how long can it survive?
You absoluty said what in my mind. Durov is very far-sighted man, his doin good, i think telegram will compete with facebook soon.
