BEEPER WAS JUST ACQUIRED BY AUTOMATTIC, WHICH HAS BIG PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF MESSAGING

Beeper, the company that attempted to launch an app that let Android users use iMessage a few months ago, has been acquired by Automattic, the giant that owns WordPress. As part of the deal, Beeper is opening up its messaging app, which attempts to corral all messaging services into one inbox, to everyone across platforms, and shutting down its waitlist for good. Automattic's CEO says that messaging will be the next big pillar of the company. Its team intends to replace a lot of messaging methods with an open-source system.
