People use what they got. Most businesses accept American Express. So people carry it in their wallets. Network effect. Facebook is a good meeting point. Its hard to be pedantic on things that literally will kill minor relationships.
- hughperkins 10y agoWell, there's an opportunity. Five years ago, everyone in China used to use qq, which is kind of like Chinese Facebook: everything public. Then wechat came out, and now I never use qq any more, I mean, noone does.
- mingfli 10y agoBoth qq and wechat are owned by tencent.
- hughperkins 10y agoThey are. Not sure that changes my point much? The user database/registration are entirely separate. There is no lockin being circumvented by virtue of both being tencent.
