@WhatTheBit @monkbent @jonrussell It’s so funny seeing Americans just now finding out about LINE now, after it took over SE Asia last year.
@maguay @WhatTheBit @jonrussell I wrote about LINE last March, 9 days after I launched my site: http://stratechery.com/2013/facebooks-mobile-failure/ …

@jonrussell@maguay@WhatTheBit hey, I didn’t have a site then. Don’t make me search my Twitter archive… ;) -
@monkbent@maguay@WhatTheBit ok, ok, i will split the prize -
@jonrussell@maguay@WhatTheBit haha, no, you win. And mid-2012 is pretty impressive. -
@monkbent@maguay@WhatTheBit it's funny because Kakao Talk was 1st one we covered, but it never kicked on like rest http://thenextweb.com/asia/2012/01/03/korean-mobile-app-kakao-talk-now-sees-1-billion-texts-sent-every-day/ … -
@jonrussell@monkbent@WhatTheBit Here’s where you have to wonder if LINE’s branding wasn’t simply genius. -
@maguay@jonrussell@WhatTheBit the sticker branding is amazing. They’ve only scratched the surface there. “LINE" sucks for searching though -
@monkbent@jonrussell@WhatTheBit Agreed. Searching through old messages? That’s power user. Normal people don’t care about it so much. - 2 more replies

@monkbent@WhatTheBit@jonrussell Ha, interesting. Paper and the FB chat app make it make more sense on mobile: http://techinch.com/blog/With-Paper-Facebook-Finally-Proves-Its-Worth-on-Mobile …

@monkbent@WhatTheBit@jonrussell Right. Asian-based writers have covered it well, for a while. It just took the US a long time to get it. -
@maguay@WhatTheBit@jonrussell gotchya. I still don’t think most in US get it, TBH. They think WhatsApp is in the same class, and winning -
@monkbent@WhatTheBit@jonrussell Very true. They’re only now recognizing it as a thing, period.
