#whatsapp Agree, since I've started using Whatsapp there is nothing else I've been using that has such a strong adoption with users. Even my aunt is using it to talk to me.

#whatsapp This app is better than
#kik_messenger on paper, but yet I haven't found the need to switch completely. I think Kik needs to take note of this apps functionality and robustness and at least match it to stay ahead in the game. I'm surprised WhatsApp hasn't received as much buzz.
