Can you pay 500 bucks a month to have access to well curated content and information about your daily interests. Say a group that discusses news or politics or one that sends you link to new music as they're released to your WhatsApp. Lagos people always like to know the traffic situation before heading out and this could be another use case.
The real advantage of this over email digests is that it's a better option for information that is just breaking and the fact that you could ask questions and get real time answers from other people within the group may be appealing. No searching the web, no API. it also has an advantage over twitter in that all your info isn't shattered. All the info you need is sent one link at a time to your phone. If the group admins are always sending people to a particular website, they could strike a deal with the website owners for the referral and make more money if that won't be a stretch
As much as I dislike WhatsApp, I've come to accept it because that's the default way of sending text messages nowadays.
Most of us are already in a group on WhatsApp whether it was made for family or friends so it's something we are all familiar with. I have no plans or interest in starting a service like this anytime soon but I'd like to know what you guys think.
