WhatsApp Field-Trials Business Chat
WhatsApp reportedly has been conducting tests of a business chat system
with a number of companies that are part of the Y Combinator startup
incubator. The API gives companies a direct line of communication with
WhatsApp users. WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum last year said the company would
seek to monetize the free chat service by providing businesses with
direct access to consumers.
