Beluga: mobile group chat
A team of three former Google employees founded a startup Beluga , which just released its first program: a beautiful and convenient group chat app on Android and iPhone. The lead programmer is Jonathan Perlow, a former team lead of the Gmail front-end development team who was responsible for UI and server scalability, he also led the Gmail Chat and Mail Goggles projects.
The Beluga program fits perfectly into the modern trend of breaking social networks into separate groups . The network of contacts is divided into clear groups ( pods , that is, “flocks”), where group communication takes place: text, photos, emoticons. Something similar to the “waves” of Google Wave and Brizzly Picnic group chats, but only for mobile phones.
This is really very convenient, because each of us has different social circles that do not overlap with each other at all.

Beluga is able to search among your friends on Facebook those who have also already installed the program. If you add users to groups and share content with them, they receive a message from number +1 703 (Beluga), and the message includes all the replicas that were in the chat at the time of adding this new user. In general, everything is done quite competently in terms of hilling the audience. True, so far only American audiences are killing: for registration you need a 10-digit phone number.
Another good feature is the message archive, which is stored on the server and is searchable.
