Summary | Ben Rubin et Sima Sistani created a new app called Houseparty, where up to 8 people can talk and see each other at the same time. The new app became very popular among young people. Fidji Simo, responsible of the video part of Facebook, contacted both Rubin and Sistani to talk to them about a potential purchase of their society, but they refused. Then, they discovered that Facebook introduced a new option into Messenger that allows conversations between up to 6 people. Facebook also said they want to launch a new app called "Bonfire" for group videos, which could kill Houseparty definitively.
