From Chat Hub to Knowledge Hub: The Case for Linking in Beeper

Over the past few years, Beeper has set itself apart as one of the most integrative messaging platforms, uniting over 10 chat networks into a single interface.

Yet there is a crucial dimension of integration that is still largely missing: linkability — the ability for any message, thread, or conversation in Beeper to be reliably and automatically referenced (linked) from other tools. In other words: Beeper is not yet link-friendly.
