It is not very used in US. This is the danger of relying too much on US tech press and bloggers, when there are more and more trends and use cases common all over the world, except US.
A very interesting thread is Whatsapp acquisition news. Lot of US HNers were shocked with its value; but a lot of people from a lot of other places just knew whatsapp as THE ONLY messaging tool that matters in their respectives countries (and that in a lot of very different countries).
