Earlier this week, Josh Constine wrote an epic piece on Facebook, Google and Apples impending messaging war. As Constine explains, we have most likely reached peak SMS, that is, text messaging is on the decline and another form of messaging will take its place.But as the major empires wage total war for glorious messaging spoils, there are far smaller, distant tribes that will make their own windfall of riches from the battle. Man I miss playing Age of Empires.As these tech giants extend their reach even further, it is quite possible that users will seek to regain control over their information and embrace applications that quickly erase or encrypt their messages and pictures. Especially if the companies battle reduces their respect for users privacylike Facebooks aggressive email change last month.The real gold mine for these impermanent apps is that they arent in the war. None of them can come close to these giants and none should try. But while the big three will likely engage in a winner take all battle, one or multiple apps can win side battles.
