Paul Stenhouse: Tech - WhatsApp on multiple devices and the beginning of the end of Twitter?

<p><strong>You can now use WhatsApp on multiple devices</strong><span> </span></p> <p><span>Still one phone, but up to four other devices. This seems like a seemingly simple thing, but it's taken years to make it happen - because keeping your messages in sync, and fully encrypted, was a challenge. This now means you'll be able to use WhatsApp on your computer, without needing your phone to be connected or linked.</span><span> </span></p> <p><span>Meta's earnings sent their stock price soaring this week. They brought in $28.6 billion in revenue last quarter, up 3% on last year. They now have 3 billion people using at least one of their products daily.</span> </p> <p><span><strong>Are we seeing the beginning of the end of Twitter?</strong></span><span> </span></p> <p><span>There certainly seems to be momentum around a new twitter clone called Bluesky. It's still in beta and invites are the golden tickets of the internet at the moment. It looks exactly like Twitter - because it was actually started by Twitter before Twitter was bought by Elon Musk. This was a project to create a decentralised social network protocol.</span><span> </span></p> <p><strong>LISTEN ABOVE</strong></p> <p> </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
