You guys are missing the key sentence here.
These timed message and retract features are worthless on their own (and offered for free by others), however they will only be a part of a bundle of features (probably BBM Meetings, ability to host meetings accessible through a Web browser, and cross platform video will be included). Something similar to Webex,.. which is not free.
As with many other services, you will pay for a bundle that includes things you really want and others that you couldn't care for.
They key is to wait and see what they add to this "bundle of features".
I know I wouldn't pay for timed messages (very dumb feature) and retraction (which can be circumvented with a simple screen capture and a keen recipient).
