They are going to do this very soon Facebook is going to be bigger.
 
Facebook is misusing all their shareholders money. Whatsapp worth almost 20 Billion? Na.
 
FFS i started using Whatsapp to get away from facebook, now facebook owns it lol
 
The makers of WhatsApp ironically tried to get a job at FB/Twitter before. Take that, Mark Zuckerberg!
 
it has a Huge User base , 450 Million Active users monthly, which is bigger than even skype

That Being said, $19b is a BIG number, remember FB had bought Instagram for $1b

I hate to use facebook.. so i am using watsapp.. but now its owning this.. i should be in search of other... ;)
 
That is a crazy price, for that money I would have just done my own and marketed it to fuck....

Also the article touches on an extremely valid point that these apps are often prone to a flabour of the month mentality...although it has 450 million users, which is on it's side, it is a very simple app. I think it's replaceable.

We'll see
 
WhatsApp's CEO said that if they would compromise on anything when selling WhatsApp to Facebook, WhatsApp would lose its meaning.

So I don't think that anything will change for a while. Only the owner.
I still have my doubts about it for maybe 2-3 years from now.

Maybe it's a good time to build an alternative app and call it Avoid Facebook.
I see at least six figures of income here!
 
I can't figure out how is facebook going to monetize whatsapp to justify such a high investment!
 
Oh geez this is one of those reasons where I specifically abandoned facebook for whatsapp to get away from facebook, facebook is just a plague IMO, everything it touches goes to complete shit, next thing you know it you will have to pay for people to see your posts.
Whats an alternative service to whatsup?
