Voxios Chat Feature Is Aimed At Killing SMS, But In A Smart Way

Screen Shot 2012-03-26 at 16.15.58Vox.io is a startup that has been making waves recently for its innovative take on VOIP. Essentially, it replaces what would normally be a phone number into a hyperlink, a disruptive idea which has many ramifications. But today the company is starting to aim at SMS as well. It's launched a realtime Chat feature which many observers will interpret simply as a feature. It's actually more significant than that. Firstly the interface is something I daresay Twitter will be taking a good hard look at. Secondly, this chat feature will be moving to the startup's iPhone client shortly, going up against WhatsApp and a host of other messaging services trying to kill SMS.
