This thread would be much more meaningful if someone would explain just what this “Line” is, and provide a link.

Line (styled "LINE") is a proprietary application for instant communications on electronic devices such as smartphones, tablet computers and personal computers. Line users exchange texts, images, video and audio, and conduct free VoIP conversations and video conferences. Line was designed by 15 members of New Human Network (NHN) Japan's development team, composed of Korean, Japanese, Chinese and American engineers. The idea of Line communication system was proposed to NHN Japan by Lee Hae Jin, the Chief Strategy Officer of NHN. It first launched in Japan in 2011, reaching 100 million users within eighteen months and 200 million users only six months later.[SUP][1][/SUP] Line became Japan's largest social network in 2013. In October 2014 Line announced that it had attracted 560 million users worldwide with 170 million active user accounts.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP] In February 2015, it announced the 600 million mark had been passed and 700 million were expected by the end of the year.[SUP][4][/SUP]
Line was originally developed as a mobile application for Android and iOS smartphones. The service has since expanded to BlackBerry (August 2012),[SUP][5][/SUP] Nokia Asha (Asia and Oceania, March 2013),[SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP] Windows Phone (July 2013),[SUP][8][/SUP] Firefox OS (February 2014)[SUP][9][/SUP] and iOS tablets (October 2014). The application also exists in versions for laptop and desktop computers using the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS platforms.
Line began in 2011 as the brainchild of engineers at NHN Japan, the Japanese arm of Naver Corporation (formerly NHN) based in South Korea. Today the popular messaging service is operated by Line Corporation, a spinoff company headquartered in Japan, which still remains a subsidiary of Naver.[SUP][10][/SUP]
