NO 1 Laiwang
In Sept 2013, laiwang, a messaging app created by Alibaba, was released. However, it did not see a satisfactory increase in users, especially when compared to the formidable WeChat of Tencent.
Early this year, reports claimed that Alibaba failed to purchase a similar instant messaging company momo, the latter was valued at more than $10 billion. In March, 2014, Alibaba invested in Tango, an US-based instant messaging app. It has been interpreted as a failure to develop its own app, laiwang.
