So a few days ago, my status on Facebook said don't invite me to new messengers... Why you ask? Well, I have Whatsapp, Gtalk, Facebook, Skype and even Twitter. Then of course there's good old SMS. So why would I want another app? Just because it claims to have some innovative features?!
The whole idea of people have so many messaging platforms seemed bizzare. Although I must admit; the idea of being able to choose who sees my status updates and who sees my 'last seen' was tempting. Then of course. The idea of having hidden chats - there are some close friends we all have. And chats with them are personal - very personal!
Anyways. Today, I finally gave in to temptation and decided to download Hike. Just to try it out and just to see if I by any chance like it more than Whatsapp. So far: Yes. I do. I do indeed.
I'm loving the whole themes idea as well as the stickers. The hidden chats is an amazing feature, but I'll need more people on Hike to be able to actually use it!!
The only problem now - I'm on Hike - but my friends aren't!! Sure, they MAY join - eventually. But untill then its plain vanilla Whatsapp. Vanilla because after using Hike for even a while, it seems like that!!
