Our monthly Top 10 gets a makeover! Now, each edition will be centered around one topic or theme. Given Facebook's recent purchase of WhatsApp for $19 billion, we thought a deeper look into this genre of emerging technology is essential! In this issue, we explore the decline of SMS, as well as the rise of 10 chat apps you may have not heard about. These include the very famous WhatsApp, Snap Chat and Viber, but also others like WeChat, Line and Kakao. Let us know what you think about our new design and approach at socialimpact@ict.gov.qa or tweet us @ictqatar
