Immediately following their launch a few months ago, I noted that Beluga was my group messaging app of choice. I didn't expect that to change leading up to SXSW ? then Facebook stepped in and bought the service. When I first heard about it (when we broke the story), my heart sank a bit ? another Facebook�acquisition�casualty, I thought. But Facebook immediately started saying that this deal was different, that Beluga would continue to be fully supported for the time being. And sure enough, today we get an update. Specifically, the iPhone version of the app has gotten some final pre-SXSW polish today. It's not a huge update, but it's an important one. With the conference�now just days away, competition in the group messaging space is really heating up. Both GroupMe and�Fast Society have significantly overhauled their apps. Beluga needed to step up with some sort of update. And they have.
