Article on Medium: What IS wrong with SMS?

I write more about SMS behaviors at Medium and get some great commentary/feedback.  One of the best aspects of a writing/blogging platform like Medium is participation.  It's more of a "curated" blog network, at least for now, which means people are motivated to participate differently than if they are just trolling random blogs.

On Medium, I ask the question "What's wrong with SMS?" - because I have absolutely no idea why the world needed 5 thousand or  more messaging apps that effectively replicate base SMS functionality, and just have to know why the hell so many people sign up.  

These are semi-rhetorical questions, but I find that asking relatively provocative questions online tends to stimulate discussion better than just talking about what you know.
