WordPress.com母公司Automattic買下Beeper

Automattic看好Texts與Beeper這二家企圖整合各大即時通訊軟體服務的開發商,在去年跟近期先後收購以納入麾下,並計畫將Texts與Beeper合併成單一服務

原本Beeper對整合iMessage的規畫是,使用者可藉由Mac或iPhone作為iMessage的中繼站,再將iMessage的訊息傳至Windows、Android與Linux裝置上,但似乎沒有成功;之後亦曾打造Beeper Mini,以讓Android手機可以與iPhone上的iMessage以免費的藍色泡泡互動,幾天後就被蘋果關閉。

自2021年創立以來,Beeper一直維持封閉測試的狀態,迄今僅有逾11.5萬人下載並使用Beeper,但後補人數超過46萬,現在Beeper則宣布開放所有人試用,它支援Android、iPhone/iPad、ChromeOS、macOS、Windows和Linux等平臺。

其實Automattic去年10月便曾以5,000萬美元買下另一家企圖整合不同傳訊服務的Texts,當時的Texts透過SDK來集結iMessage、WhatsAppTelegram、Signal、MessengerTwitter(現在的X)、InstagramLinkedIn、IRC、Slack與Discord DM,並於單一介面上呈現。

Automattic表示,目前的傳訊服務非常混亂,使用者手機安裝了數不清的聊天程式,每個聊天程式都有各自的聯絡人及通知設定,而讓朋友更容易忽略親友的訊息,該公司認為溝通屬於基本人權,它應該要儘可能地可存取、加密與開源,未來將藉由合併Texts及Beeper來實現此一核心理念,結合雙方的技術將使更多人重回開放網路的承諾。

現階段Beeper與Texts將持續以兩個不同的程式運作,但未來將會合併,Migicovsky則已進入Automattic,擔任傳訊團隊的負責人。
