- acchow 10y agoMy bad, my sarcasm was apparently lost in written form...
- amasad 10y agoI'm kind of curious now, I can't read in anyway that sounds sarcastic. Can you explain?
- acchow 10y agoI just mean Whatsapp feels like an entirely separate entity from Facebook (unlike Instagram which is quite integrated) Disclaimer: I work at FB.
- amasad 10y agoI'm sure they'll eventually integrate. And they'll give the infra project a cheesy name -- just like instagration -- Whatsagration.
