I agree, all my friends and familly are on WhatsApp and they will definitely not switch. So from my point of view, I have to balance the cost between sharing data to Facebook and severely hampering communications with my love ones.

I guess what I'm saying is that the network effect is just too damn strong (for me at least).

How do you know? Have you asked them?

Many of my family and close friends did install a new messaging app when I asked them. How do you think WhatsApp became so popular in the first place?
