Facebook buys Whatsapp for $16billion

jasonallvall · Feb 20, 2014

A friend said something really funny yesterday. He said ''oh no there are going to be ads on whatsapp now, like every 10 messages you will see an ad''!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saw that this morning, was inevitable. $16bn is a mad amount for only 50 employees haha.

In relation to ads, there's enough ad blockers out there that stop ads in apps/sites.

Small apps? Whatsapp has nearly 1 billion users.

Years of avoiding signing up to Facebook and zuckerberg still manages to get my phone number. The modern world is nuts.

Looks like hes a cheap buy since the website is supposedly worth 37k (http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/http://nenadseo.com/) based off his new banner ad

Fresh news about Whatsapp deal

lukelim · Feb 21, 2014

what next after Whatsapp? hopefully facebook will bring communication world much better

PaperToy · Feb 21, 2014

Seems like a waste of billions in my opinion. Is WhatsApp even really profitable?

elviswong · Feb 21, 2014

The amount is insane ! I mean it's billions !!!!! Not millions !!!!

I thought that when he acquired Instagram, the price was ridiculous but now....

Things like this happens when people have no idea on how to spend their money. Few more things like this and FB will be gone forever.

lukelim · Feb 21, 2014

That's a lot of money for a simple chat app. I can possibly see a lot of people ditching WhatsApp due to this move.
