What if Facebook\u2019s long-term outlook is hindered by the fact that it began on computers and not on mobile phones? This is something you start to wonder when you look at three Asian companies that have, between them, nearly 400 million users. And they are still growing. The difference between them and the social networking giant we all know: they\u2019re smartphone-centric, and focus more on conversations than relationships. Who are they?<\/p>\n

WeChat was the first Chinese smartphone app to be adopted outside of the middle empire<\/strong>\u00a0(where it\u2019s called Weixin). Launched in 2011 by Tencent, China\u2019s largest online company, it had reached 200 million users by last September, doubling the total it had in March. The number includes users from Southeast Asia, the US and the UK. As\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0says, the app is \u201csimilar\u201d to WhatsApp, but offers \u201cmany more\u201d functionalities. It\u2019s true that the app has a bit of Twitter, a little Faceboook, some Instagram and Skype, as well as other services. It also allows people to send spoken messages like walkie-talkies.<\/p>\n

Korea<\/strong>\u00a0is dominated by\u00a0<\/strong>Kakao Talk<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Tencent owns 14%). It had 60 million users in September when I interviewed Yujin Sohn, vice president of global development. Its functionalities are similar to WeChat, but \u201cwe launched before they did, and can do everything they can,\u201d Sohn says.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn top of that, we do free calling, which they still don\u2019t,\u201d she continues. In all actuality, Korean companies should have a difficult time in the Chinese market, and vice versa. The two companies allied with each other, one providing the tech, the other providing the financial resources.<\/p>\n

The third member of the trio is\u00a0Line<\/a>, a Japanese site created byKorea\u2019s Next Human Network (NHN), formerly run by Kakao\u2019s founder. So there are links between all three companies. In September, Line had 60 million users, nearly half ofJapan\u2019s total population. Kakao Talk, on the other hand, has almost 90% penetration inKorea, according to Line executive officer Jun Masuda. Line now has over 94 million users.<\/p>\n

According to Masuda, \u201cThe graphic interface and strategy are very similar, since we both come from the same company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Sohn, Masuda emphasizes the communication aspect.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re not a social network, we\u2019re a messaging service,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Masuda says. \u201cThe messages are pretty short, which allows for rapid exchanges, like a real conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0For Sohn, the biggest thing that differentiates them from Facebook is that \u201cwe were born on mobile.\u201d For Masuda \u201cthe smartphone revolution gives us a chance to [spread] our messaging and communications services.\u00a0 The US has Facebook, but not a dominant messaging service. That\u2019s why we\u2019re focusing on the Asian market first before expanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

The difference might seem like a small one, but all three companies view it as an essential one.\u00a0<\/strong>A more nuanced explanation is given by Yujin (Kate) Sohn: \u201cFacebook is a social platform that has communication features, but we are a communication platform with social elements. That\u2019s what smartphones are made for; computers weren\u2019t, even if there\u2019s a partial overlap. Facebook has trouble with mobile because it was built in an environment that isn\u2019t centered on communication. We\u2019re different, because we were born on different planets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0WeChat and the others see an advantage there. They believe they can compete with Facebook one day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This belief comes less because of their large Asian markets than the fact they were born on smartphones and they ask all new users for access to their address books. Networks built on existing relationships \u2013 like Facebook \u2013 tend to create a flat or static social graph, while those built on communication, and thus on real relationships, can create a dynamic graph, like real conversations do. The two models partially overlap, but the starting point \u2013 and therefore the end point \u2013 are entirely different.<\/p>\n
