“Someone would move to Miami, find one of them on Twitter, and then join the messaging group to learn about events, make friends, or seek advice. The group quickly outgrew WhatsApp's 256-person capacity, and now communicates on Telegram.” https://www.wired.com/...

Seeing lots of comparisons with Miami Tech Week and SXSW right now. Worth remembering that SXSW succeeded at turning Austin into a tech hub, but ultimately not in making it a force. I think it will be similar here, but I'm glad to see opportunity decentralizing!
