Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp Is Facebook associated with killing their investments or something?

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp No, but if their native applications is anything to judge by, WhatsApp will soon become an unreliable, bloated piece of shit.

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp Well they earned it. WhatsApp is the only app I've ever found to be excellent. All others, even the simplest ones, always seem like they're in constant beta version.

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp Didn't even know they had that much equity to throw around. I wonder what YouTube would fetch on today's market ...

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp WhatsApp is the best app ever for texting/sending messages/videos to other people in different countries. I have been using it for years and have loved it. I hope facebook doesn't ruin it..

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp I had a sibling move to the UK last year, and we basically use this app as a primary means of communicating with her. So I hope Facebook doesn't fuck it up either.

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp I'm not into apps and all that shit but Ive got whatsapp.
Its basically like Viber. I only use it to communicate with friends when they are overseas (its free) and with my sister in law in New Jersey.

Re: Facebook bought WhatsApp WhatsApp doesn't do calls like Viber, but for chatting and sending stuff it's way better. Also it doesn't crash or annoy like Viber. When I got my phone I first used Viber, but then people started to use WhatsApp. I tried it and never even though about using any other app for chatting.
