Wazzup Pilipinas!
Fresh from Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg FB status is the announcement of taking over mobile app WhatsApp. It's an impressive and expensive acquisition. We thought the guys at Apple would've beat the Facebook team to it but instead of focusing on M&A's, I think Apple is buying back stocks.
You only mentioned WhatsApp 15 times. Maybe now everyone will go find out who the hell they are. It's just a 30 person team, the development is done in Russia for cheap, 8 million raised and BOOM.... 16 billion acquisition! We're looking forward to what this relationship produces.
Everywhere I've traveled outside of the US, people are using WhatsApp extensively. Very cool to see this partnership, congratulations, great minds and teams uniting! It is like Facebook is trying to take over the world and control everyone's lives. They should buy Instagram now and conquer the world.
Congratulations, Zuck!
