> what's the last protocol that's gained mass developer/user usage?

XMPP and SIP.

And BTW, Whatsapp is non-federated XMPP. The Twitter protocol is HTTP, its API is documented and clones exist; like Whatsapp it is non-federated.



The distinction you describe is one I'm sure the mass market fully appreciates.
