Twitter Plans To Launch Its Own Messaging Service And Compete With Whatsapp by orbitame2011: 11:17am On Jan 07, 2014
Twitter or Whatsapp??
Twitter, the well known Internet company, may be interested in competing against the popular instant messaging service, WhatsApp.
Since the latest change made by the social network giant give the impression that they could be headed in that direction.
Twitter is a social network and a company that has seen major growth in the past few years, however, it has faced some problems when trying to break into other markets and obtain more profit through them.
Twitter’s advertising sales have not had results as good as Facebook’s, a social network that is much more widely accepted and used by audiences of all ages.
This is why Twitter may begin exploring other markets, such as instant messaging on cell phones.
This idea began to gain strength as it was repeated by different secret sources, and based on the latest changes to the social network, such as the new possibility of sending direct messages to any user without the need for this user to be following you.

It is still not known how this market would be approached. In addition, there are a great many competing applications that, without a doubt, have already staked their claim in this market. All of these existing apps would make Twitter fall behind in the minds of users and the general public.
A spokesperson for the company with the bird logo has talked to the media to try to quiet down these rumors, completely denying that the company is interested in breaking into this market. Even so, we know that these comments mean nothing to people, and that it could be just a message to calm down speculations and avoid interference in their plans.
We will see what the Twitter Company has in store for the future, and whether they really plan to jump into this market that has created so much competition. We cannot deny that the company has a great deal of capital and weight in a very large market, and that it could become an important competitor for other companies, and especially for WhatsApp.
If it will happen,which one will you prefer,Twitter or Whatsapp Messaging Service?

I remember when Facebook got serious about emailing, and I remember how that went. Twitter should focus on ADVERTISING on its own platform. The charges are too expensive, their ADs interface is too confusing, erratic, and it covers very few countries.
