Facebook buys WhatsApp for..
 

Shaun 19-02-2014 09:21 PM

can't tell if that's a lot, or very little, nowadays

King Gizzard 19-02-2014 09:23 PM

quite alot considering in August Facebook was valued at over 100bn for the first time

Vicky. 19-02-2014 09:24 PM

...why?

Whatsapp is free... and has no ads, dont see how they can make anything from it :suspect:

Withano 19-02-2014 09:25 PM

Better prepare ourselves for adverts

King Gizzard 19-02-2014 09:25 PM

by adding ads and taking out some indirect competition I guess...and extending the brand and putting their name to it

Vicky. 19-02-2014 09:27 PM

Ugh.

Facebook Messenger is widely used for chatting with your Facebook friends, and WhatsApp for communicating with all of your contacts and small groups of people. Since WhatsApp and Messenger serve such different and important uses, we will continue investing in both and making them each great products for everyone.
These don't seem that different to me seeing as you can talk in groups with however many people you like on facebook messenger lol
