1..2..3.. WHATSAPP SOLD TO FACEBOOK
OMG!! Whatsapp what happened?so whatsapp ythe all time favourite messaging app
is been sold to none other than Facebook. It was bought by the giant for a whooping 19 BILLION $ .The transaction involves $4 billion in cash, $12 billion in stock and $3 billion in restricted stock that vests over several years.This far the biggest deal ever done by any company.
Founded by a Ukrainian immigrant who dropped out of college, Jan Koum, and a Stanford alumnus, Brian Acton, WhatsApp is a Silicon Valley startup fairy tale, rocketing to 450 million users in five years and adding another million daily.
Zuckerberg said that," it would help them towards growth and mobile (smartphone ) in future".
PRICE TAG
Seems to me that it was overpriced as facebook bought instagram for 1 billion$
and even Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten just bought messaging service Viber for $3 per user, in a $900 million deal.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS FACEBOOK JUST PAID TOO MUCH????
