WhatsApp changed texting
Hq trivia was really the most modern app that blew my mind. Hundreds of thousands of players playing trivia live together was very cool and I’m sure they had really interesting scaling challenges!
Agreed 100%
I think saying Instagram only changed how we share photos is underselling it. Likes and follower counts act as HEAVY social proof. You could be a bum with 150k followers and some brand WILL give you money just to post stuff. We have become a more vain society due to Instagram. That said, all of them are good candidates except venmo. There's better apps and it wasn't the first way to digitally exchange money (Bitcoin, PayPal, etc.) Yeah I know they're not mobile but still.
Agreed. I made this poll too fast. Instagram is the disruptive social media company.
