"We are now going to build our next project, a mobile social network."
The chances of becoming a serious Whatsapp competitor have just vanished. Focus is everything, spread too thin and you're done for good.
From what I heard, Telegram was intended as a testbed and the team didn't quite expect the exposure it received.
This is going to be a separate product from Telegram. Durov knows what focus is, he kept VK very focused while he was around.
