Lol. I weak. There was so much around before 2go came into the big picture. Mig33, Nimbuzz, eBuddy, Mozart, Sh messenger, etc.

u sabi wella

Same way nairaland go collapse if Dem no upgrade the site to better standard. All this 1942 UI

GodPrince:

ghettochild:

Wish sm1 or a group of people will start a new website called nairalanders with a much better interface than nairaland.
That time seun eye go clear

people won't go there, most Africans are conservative in nature,

People still dey use am ? 😆 🤣 😂 😹 mbgeke

udemzyudex:


2go opened your eyes?

You no use Nimbuzz?

How many people you knack through Nimbuzz??

(because I know say people knack well well for 2go--- it linked indoor neighbours who never came out of their houses,, yet they communicated very well and ended up meeting themselves, even at uncompleted-buildings, just for knackings...)

The world don leave them go.

You should also ask about what happened to IBM and Olimpia, the biggest manufacturers of manual and electric typewriters. They were sleeping when technology left them.

How about Nokia phones?

IBM is now Lenovo

GreatVocalist:

They also had whites as users. I was able to connect with some whites back then.

they dunno ... 😁😁😁




All you had to do was register with a foreign number. ..


used to hang with some Brit oldies back then ...

Is anyone still using this app, because my own is full of curb-webs oo

2go opened most of our eyes to messenger then after fb messenger...

To me I think what kill 2go is lack of adequate and prompt update when WhatsApp came onboard... My opinion though...

From beginner to Ultimate star
Nostalgia

When one's time is up, whether a person or a thing, there's really nothing one can do. This doesn't mean one shouldn't try.

What of twoo app I met a lot of babes there too.

blacksam01:
Til date 2go and BBM are still better than WhatsApp...

both hv privacy WhatsApp dont have..both have friends search WhatsApp dont hv...we followed WhatsApp cuz its the trend

Truth

Omoluabi16:
Honestly. That gocredits killed everything. Then again, people made it seem 2go users were immature.. I.e na small pikin dey 2go. People who made sense bought into that thinking and left.

But if there's any social media platform that I have seen children, I think it's Facebook, but no one is talking about that

tecnolad:


I can say why they collapsed:

1. They weren't quick to develop an android app, and when they did, they maintained the same UI and UX they had on S40 and S60. This was bad to navigate on touchscreen devices.

2. They had Whatsapp as a competitor, and unlike 2go, Whatsapp didn't need you to buy GC to do basic stuff. Also, it was easier to connect with friends, since you only needed to have their phone numbers.

3. They didn't work on their marketing and geographic expansion game. They only had African users, out of which 80% are Nigerians.

Every market (Globally) is targeting Nigeria.
(They always nickname it “The African Market”).
Even musicians and movie-makers too..

And once your market is no more working in Nigeria, you might crumble.
(That is, if you're not really a GLOBAL Brand)

There where many messenger apps 2go was the smallest.

iHart:
They got it wrong from their monetization method. Any app that starts to bill its users directly will die a natural death.

Simple..




Twitter and it's new subscriber method for instance..

They were on symbian and windows when people already portt to andriod

Goodlady:
Lmao.
What about Eskimi, Badoo, e-Buddie, Naijabase and Naijamobs. The last two were before this Nairaland wey no get attractive feature.
Technology advanced and they were left behind. If those sites advanced technologically, they ll be among the ranks of WhatsApp, Instagram, tiktok etc.

Badoo still dey till now shaa..
Chaaiii..


Na Ashawo site..
Money for hand, body for house.

CHIOMAEZEH:


IBM is now Lenovo

Nope. Lenovo bought the hardware and devices division of IBM. IBM diversified into consultancy and SaaS solutions

Nobody has talked about blackplanet and Hi5

I still use the app sometimes. 2go was among the first real time and enjoyable social media that came out. Then people even dumped Facebook and other leading social medias for 2go. But now see where 2go is. 🙄

I noticed there are some updates they've made. CHATGPT is now added and it has helped me alot in My quest for answers to questions.


I think the only crime of 2go was coming out of Africa. Africans can't boost their own thing. The Africans dumped 2go when WhatsApp was released. That was the sad reality.

Again, 2go was just too dull in their updates , it's now that they're trying to bring in features that people have been enjoying in other platforms long before now.

A clarion call to nairaland, they should do the needful or this is how it will be abandoned in due course.

The screenshots you posted

See that @Bree-cat and @Deborahbaby34
those two Na mistresses of 2go
Always online.
22/7.
like they have no life outside 2go.

You know one user called @DarkWitch ?

omooo i met lot of girls there sha ooo and we are still friends till today

Walahi it was so fun. Gals plenty to meet.
I lost contacts cos of how expensive phones were to get new one.

omenpetrol:
WhatsApp killed 2go. Then if you didn't have Blackberry messenger (BBM) you were relegated to 2go. Having a BBM pin was a status simbol. lol.
Times and seasons...vanity upon vanity.

The good old days
Nimbuzz
Viber
Waptrick
Operamini - with MTN Cheat for free browzing
UC browser

You didn't include sefan.ru abi wetin be the name of that website again that site wey we dey use download symbian games. Good old days

Omoluabi16:
Yeah, it was real good. And that was a cash cow for mobile networks, so I wonder why they stopped it.



Call me, I love you.
Call me I miss you.
Call me, it's an emergency. 😂😂

Mehn

Me too, I wonder why they stopped cos I tot they were cashing out big time.
Plenty gals to toast that time

phorget:
2go was in it own class and cant be compared to watsapp. You will need to have someone's number before chatting on watsapp but 2go is where you can easily go into any room and make friends with a total stranger.

Unfortunately it was a rubbish class 2go failed to upgrade. WhatsApp keeps updating and upgrading with new features every single day, something 2go failed in years. Why won't it die?

Who else noticed Nigerian girls ain't commenting? e be like say na only boys use 2go. Pretty sure must of the girls weren't born then. Or they just decided to be dumb because they have nothing intelligent to say. They cannot contribute to anything involving technology dull nonetities

You're uninformed.
IBM is still as big as ever. They make supercomputers, servers now. You don't hear about them cos you don't make use of can't afford their products

What an achievement

a very good example of him being proud of what he ought to be ashamed of.

2go is old school.
