Whatsapp now has as many users as Gmail. Goodbye, email
- herbst 11y agoI am a "active Whatsapp user". But i maybe write a message a day. And write and write multiple emails a day. IMHO thats not a valid assumption.
- oliwarner 11y agoBecause GMail is all email? And WhatsApp can do everything you can do with email? Either something drastic has changed while I've been asleep or this is a really stupid comparison to be making to infer the death of anything. Even if you combined all chat services, email still has a place. As long as domains exist, it always will.
- nunobrito 11y agoGreat comment. Let's all drop a test and tried open standard to adopt a closed-platform that is centralized on a single provider. btw. Agree with other commenters, gmail is not the whole email so the comparison is moot from the beginning.
- roddux 11y agoGMail not be all email, but it's damn close! It serves 1bn[1] users out of an estimated 2.7bn total[2].
