Telegram vs Zoom
Zoom started first, in 2011, 2 years before Telegram.
Why Telegram lasted
- Channels, bots, and huge groups made it infrastructure for places WhatsApp is a family chat.
- Durov as a walking opposition brand is a distribution channel, for better and worse.
Why Zoom lasted
- It just worked when the others did not. 2020 turned that into a verb.
- Enterprise remains, even when the kitchen table does not.
