If Ping actually had some kind of buddy list, it would be one thing. Right now, we'd actually have to send each other messages just to get listed. Then you have to scroll through previous messages to find someone to whom to send the message...and heaven forbid you misspell the name, guess wrong, or whatever...you send a message to some stranger. Isn't that what things like AIM are for?
I'm sticking with WhatsApp and just removing Ping.
but whatsapp is just basically like texting right? It only links to your regular contact list. The cool thing about Ping is that like BBM for Blackberry's you meet random people and thats pretty cool. But it does need some re-working to make it awesome. We need something much closer to the BBM program, would be awesome for iPhone owners.
Just my opinion.
