"£10b? Are you sure?" Yes, it's $19bn. Stupid money but great for the 50 staff who all get a share. | |||

"Has just agreed to be taken over by Facebook for £10billion and has only 50 employees, that is going to be one hell of an office party! But how on earth it is worth that much is beyond me, is it any good??" I guess it will soon be full of pop up adverts, there will be charges for sending messages and the content of every message sent will be sold to some Nigerian spamer.  | |||

"I thought it was 19b Her" it was 19b but in dollars, think the conversion to sterling brings it down to about 13b. still a ridiculous amount of money for nothing more than a massanger service. Considering i hate facebook now and dont really leave anything on there thanks to the twat zuckermann selling all people privacy off under the pretence of "social networking" think i may have to abandon whatsapp too now, especially with the pics i send and receive | |||

"£10b? Are you sure? Yes, it's $19bn. Stupid money but great for the 50 staff who all get a share. " $19b is what I'd heard reported. That's more than £10b, hence the question. | |||

Easily lost down the back of the sofa..."Assuming it was divided equally between the 50 staff (it won't of course), I have just cost them about £30m each, poor little loves won't be able to survive!! But assuming they have all become millionaires today, if you were one of them, what would be the first thing you would buy? | |||

"A good App until Zuckenberg bought it. I guess he was getting nervous at the thought of a company such as this threatening Facebook. Facebook is becoming another Microsoft - they simply buy up the competition. I still cannot work out what Facebook is about and why so many people are obsessed about publicising their private lives and personal data..." Yeah....why would anyone want to publish pics of themself online etc?   | |||

The revenue to gain from the users is massive. They are unlikely to chamge pricing model. But the news reckons that this service sends double the amount of nor.am sms messages now. So it is very.popular. | |||

"Just goes to show how much value there is to what we write or send by someone out there..... It was a safe place too send messages ect... now who knows??? the bigger the money the more corrupt people seem to be & will sell out a principle for more ££€€¥®$$©© Doesn't matter how much they get,,, I just can't believe its in billions!!!!! "Absolutely. I wouldn't trust Facebook not to use it for data mining for profit or to compromise the privacy of the users for profit. The original deveopers could have done that too, of course, but I'd suspect Facebook to be far more likely to, based on the way they run the site. | |||

This (although we dont know the creators of whatsapp were already doing this this) is one of the reasons why i hate Facebook. Im not a happy bunny at this news and i guess i wont be using it for long.
Everything Zuckerberg touches turns to shit, Facebook and his buying and screwing around with Instagram, wont be long till Whatsapp joins them. | |||
