It really depends on your use cases. WeChat fits well in China as it is building a product exactly adding value for China culture and lifestyle there. You can make utilities payment via WeChat, but I would much prefer to have a platform aut

My experience tells me Airbnb is in big trouble. Last year around Nov, I tried to book a Lake Tahoe cabin for 2 families (1 is mine, another is a friend's) for a simple trip for our young children. I booked via Airbnb few days in advan
