This could be huge. The first messaging app that is user friendly and protects message content and meta data is going to be huge.

Seems like this article is more about Pond than about DarkMatter. Rightfully so, IMO, as Pond looks very impressive.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Hadn't heard about either, so I'm pretty stoked to see what will happen with them. Pond definitely seems interesting, because it'll be easier to pick up and integrate, plus it has the benefit of solving the first contact problem, with no real key exchange prior necessary. I wonder how this will be able to be exported/imported.
