> But Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also been frustrated that Facebook doesn’t get more credit for the growth of Instagram and WhatsApp. Associating those apps with Facebook could improve the overall companies’ brand with consumers.
It is difficult to see how this could improve Instagram and WhatsApp's image though.
- evanriley 7y agoYea, this comment from Zuckerburg seems strange to me or maybe I completely misread how people are currently viewing Facebook as a company? Generally speaking, it seems like the majority of the people are talk to only have bad things to say about Facebook (the product), and positive things to say about Facebook's (the company) other products such as Instagram and WhatsApp. Seems like they would want to keep these brands are separated as possible.
- amelius 7y agoPerhaps they should do it the other way around then. "Facebook, from the makers of Whatsapp".

- koolba 7y agoZuck does not care of how your think of the company now. The plan here is to blur the lines between the services so he can continue the ongoing quest to hoover all data about you into one place. If it’s all “... by Facebook” people will eventually stop thinking it’s wrong for their messages to feed into an ad platform.
