Name: Beluga
Quick Pitch: Beluga lets you send instant group messages, photos and location information across multiple platforms.
Genius Idea: For years, a major advantage for BlackBerry owners was BBM, which allows users to chat with each other instantly and without charge. But as developers get smart about group messaging, BBM is slowly being imitated (replaced?) by products that can include friends who prefer devices outside of the RIM family.
Kik, for instance, allows users to send instant messages across native iPhone and Android() apps and, like BBM, notifies the sender when the messages are read. GroupMe allows users to create groups that can exchange text messages easily.
