There’s so many questions linger in our mind on why Facebook wanted WhatsApp that much and they are offering it for $19 B. Is this App worthy to buy by the no.1 social media in the world? What is so special with WhatsApp that Mark Zuckerberg wanted to acquire it?
We all know that Mark Zuckerberg want to change the world and doesn’t mind if it cost billions. He wanted to make the world more open and connected. Although seems true since he also tried to make Facebook to access by their members even without internet connection, but of course there’s always a business to keep in mind.
Meanwhile, netizens think that Mark just wanted to kill and shutdown its possible competitor in social media. It is not impossible that its developer will reinvent its current phase into something big since it has 450 million active users. They might think out of the box and this is what Mark afraid to happen. But whatever reason behind this deal only the CEO of the top social media can answer all this speculations.
Anyway, I don’t use WhatsApp for messaging but I do use Viber since it is free to use forever, or is it?
If you are the owner of WhatsApp will you accept this lucrative deal? Or you will follow what Twitter did not to sell their micro-blogging site to Facebook?
