The home page is http://peach.cool/ It looks like the app is available only for iOS. It's a pity that the article doesn't mention either of those things.
Having tested it, it seems you can only find friends with a US phone number... or that whole feature just doesn't work.
Am I missing something? This looks like they bundled a subset of Slack's features and called it a social network. Typing "GIF," for instance, lets users search for the appropriate media to post Seems a lot like /giphy
The terminology varies, but there's little difference in implementation.

Death of Peach: An eerie echo of Meerkat’s collapse [0] > A messaging app called Peach triggered a media maelstrom on Friday afternoon, peaked at No. 85 on the U.S. iPhone downloads chart on Saturday, and started declining on Sunday, slipping to No. 129 by Sunday at 1:00 p.m. The tepid peak performance and an early decline are vastly significant considering the heavy tech media coverage surrounding the app. > Because…
Wasn't Meerkat done in by the fact that Twitter launched Periscope around the same time? Twitter cut Meerkat's access to the API at SXSW (mid March), and published Periscope to the iOS App Store in late March. On top of this, I've noticed some celebrities I follow on Twitter using Periscope and advertising it to their feeds, which I wouldn't be surprised to find out is fueled by some form of payment from Twitter.

You're missing the whole thing. For starters, Slack is for work and Peach is for personal. But I think before you dismiss something as "isn't it just x plus y?" you need to take a little bit more time and thinking to try and figure out what the product designers are trying to achieve and how.
Maybe the product designers and product providers should be more explicit about how their product should be used and who their target demographic is, if they want a successful product, rather than making everyone "figure out" what they are trying to achieve and how.
You cannot build an incredible product without a profound and nuanced understanding of your market.

Why does anyone follow celebrities on Twitter? Does it add any value to your life?

The idea that command-line applications could have some sort of Renaissance on devices which do not have a keyboard seems completely insane to me.
