Because GMail is all email? And WhatsApp can do everything you can do with email?<p>Either something drastic has changed while I've been asleep or this is a really stupid comparison to be making to infer the death of anything.<p>Even if you combined all chat services, email still has a place. As long as domains exist, it always will.
Great comment. Let's all drop a test and tried open standard to adopt a closed-platform that is centralized on a single provider.<p>btw. Agree with other commenters, gmail is not the whole email so the comparison is moot from the beginning.
I am a "active Whatsapp user". But i maybe write a message a day. And write and write multiple emails a day. IMHO thats not a valid assumption.
i'm so totally waiting for alerts, notifications, confirmations, newsletters and everything else to come via whatsapp. so that i can't find anything anymore.
