    Competition in the text messaging market is heating up. One program, carving out a bigger share of the market, is WeChat or Weixin in Chinese owned by Chinese internet giant Tencent. It's currently the number one messaging App in China.

    Tang Li, a student from University of California Berkeley, is leaving a voice message for his mother at home in Jiangsu Province, China. The communication is completely free through the popular messaging App WeChat. He says, "we chat among students on WeChat here to talk about homework assignments, about like club meetings and I also chat with my parents on WeChat."

    Fellow Chinese student Ashley Ji used to message with the popular WhatsApp, but switched to WeChat because of the playful emotions. She says, "WeChat? we can add our own emotions, not only what Tencent provides, also our own designs, more interesting. More personal."

    Mark Niu says, "Tencent, which now has several offices in the US, hopes to grow their WeChat user base in America. The company did recently announce that it had 70 million registered WeChat users outside of China a jump of 30 million users in roughly three months."
