I currently live in Singapore. Clear skies today.

But for the last two months it's been constant smoggy haze that makes your throat itch and your nose stuffy. And there's virtually no protest to it here. Just sarcasm and cynicism.

Author should check out Chronology. A much simpler version of Braid for iOS. Not nearly as challenging but provides time travel gameplay that is different and at times quite intriguing.

"About to change everything" - this title is a few years too late.

Plot twist, the NSA is sending all the data it has "collected" to aliens living on Mars via the Mars Rover. Now it all makes sense.

I wonder if this app has more capacity than Twitter to start and sustain revolutions.

I wouldn't include WeChat as an investment in the same way the others are. Tencent developed WeChat (then called Weixin) themselves. Also, the interesting about WeChat and its difference between the others you mentioned is it functions more as a platform for mobile games and mobile commerce. Tango, Viber (which finally got stickers a few months ago), and Whatsapp are all exclusively about communication. No doubt all of them have looked at folks like WeChat (from China), Line (from Japan), Zalo (from Vietnam) and KakaoTalk (from South Korea) for profitable business models. All of the Asian chat apps are headed in that direction.
