There were previous versions of the app that worked through email. Like, you'd send yourself an email, and it'd show up on here somehow, you're not sure how that worked. There were also versions that worked through blogs; if you were same kinda tech wizard, you've got your own whole blog, a whole website just for you, you could put Something on that website that'd talk to this app, and when you posted on your site it'd pop up in the app as well.
These different ways still work with the new phone-to-phone apps, and you understand that this is because the data is the same shape. Like, everything's got a subject and a post, sometimes the subject's called a title, whatever, it's a short bit followed by a long bit and a list of people who can see it, it can all fit in the same hole.
