Communication these days is very important, and the two important technologies that have kept people connected are actually in a race now. Yes, you are right – we are talking about Social Media and Chat Apps.

Let’s have a look at a few stats to help us find the answer.

Social Media

Well it’s been 10 years since Facebook was launched. The Social Media trend was started back then and today it is more like a fuel that runs our life. And its not only Facebook, people have started using other social sites too. Just have a look at some of the popular social medias.

News goes Viral Worldwide

The amount of news that went viral in 2014 through social medias simply tells you how much people use them.

Chat Apps

In the brave new smartphone-obsessed world that we live in, more and more people are sending messages through web-based applications like WeChat, WhatsApp and Snapchat. These messaging services are the next breed of social networks.

The battleground will be emerging markets of social media and chat apps. In this battle, size matters – people will only join messaging apps if the people they communicate with are already on it. On the other hand, things can change pretty quickly.
