BBM made sense 15 years ago when all but the most expensive cell plans cost 5 cents to send a single text but now everything is unlimited texting so I don't get it.

Convenience is attractive to me. I have a whats app groups called golf and stuff on my phone. Basically contains a group of 10 guys, all of whom golf, who flag when they have tee times. We are all members at the same club, so folks get early tee times, get a foursome and then cancel any excess times. The tee time process in the summer is much more efficient than the old days of email or phoning. Last summer it seemed like we had our groups figured out for weekend golf about an hour or two after tee times opened up.
