IM app Momo more popular than Foursquare
November 28, 2013 Category Uncategorized
Momo, a popular instant messaging app in China said to be popular among those looking for one-night-stands, now has 80 million users, according to CEO Tang Yan. Some 13 million people use Momo every day, generating a daily average of 500 million messages, according to Tang. The application was launched in August 2011. Demonstrating the power of operating in the Chinese market, Momo boasts twice as many users as Foursquare, a similar application popular outside China. Foursquare was launched two years before Momo and is available in 12 languages. Momo is a location-based instant messaging application for smartphones. Users can connect to people nearby and share free texts, audio notes and photographs over the internet. Momo seeks to “change the future of mobile interactions”, Tang said. The app gained 10 million users in its first year and this year has been particularly successful, adding an extra 50 million users since March. Momo was founded in March 2011 by four Beijingers who had previously worked at two of China’s biggest internet portals, Sina and Netease. Tang did not make public any information about revenue and profit but said, “We are not in debt”.
