Even though at the time it seemed ridiculous I could understand paying $1bn for Instagram. Photos is Facebook's most used product and Instagram was stealing users photos on mobile.
$16bn for WhatsApp I just can't understand. Facebook has a brilliant messaging app. Lots of people use it - even people who use WhatsApp continue to use Facebook Messenger.

- k-mcgrady 13y agoIs that really worth $16 BILLION though? Think of the marketing they could have done to get those users in those countries with 10% of that money.
- ulfw 13y agoPlus it's not like they will 'convert' those non-Facebook users and make them use Facebook suddenly. So then the question comes up on how to monetize this thing to earn back the $19,000,000,000
