Indeed.. the usefulness of Whatsapp is the fact that one can talk to friends on most devices ios/Android/BB/Windows/Nokia/Symbian. Anything else ,security, annoyances etc.. are easily ignored by non-techies.
- fakeer 14y agoWhen it comes to text or not to text with friends then some (most of the) times it's ignored by techies also. Most of the times they do not have a choice just like their "non-techie" counterparts. There's another crucial thing that is missing from WhatsApp that is owning/backing up your message and of course it can rule IM space it jumps into web chat. But then they will have to implement an entire identity management system because in reality they do not have one. I find WhatsApp good. Just talk to your friends. That's it. No celebrity feeds (sth called Friend+ or so) like that in KakaoTalk etc.
- jklp 14y agoVery good points re: multi-platform. I'm an ex Java developer, so I'll have a look at the Android codebase and see how difficult it is to write an Android version.
