We spent several weeks in China recently and became heavy users of WeChat which caused me to take a deeper look at this app and company. I would be very careful about dismissing its power and possibilities. I own FB and believe in its potential but for anyone studying the social media space and competition check out this linked article. It’s a bit long but I came away wondering if there was anything WeChat doesn’t do. And they have definitely figured out the monetization thing. Seven times the average revenue per user than FB’s WhatsApp.
