I just came back from an island, we barely used computers. Never been so happy. People use whatsapp a lot, but it's just a modern reincarnation of phones. Send a little text, a little voice message, a little video. Nothing more. There it seems it's just right fulfilling the need to chat. The rest was a fantasy.
So (never used WhatsApp), how is it better than email or SMS for those things?
Just integrated and smartphone friendly. Think cellphone usage++ without the cruft.
