Looks like Samsung's ChatOn messaging service is shutting down next year.

It's worth pointing out that the service faced stiff competition from the likes of WhatsApp, Line and WeChat which claim to have a considerably bigger active user base.WhatsApp claimed to have 600 million active users in August and is reportedly the biggest among all services.

WhatsApp might be bringing its messaging service to the web. It's still not definite proof, but it certainly looks like the WhatsApp team is at least exploring some sort of web functionality.

With over 600 million users, WhatsApp is the largest messaging service that still doesn't offer a web version, as competitors like Line, Viber, Telegram and WeChat all allow you to message either on your phone or the via the web.
