Facebook Buying Whatsapp Rumor
Yesterday, rumors broke out that Facebook was in talks to buy the popular Application WhatsApp. While that would have been a very good strategy for Facebook, its not actually true.
WhatsApp released the Following comment to the popular blog AllThingsD today saying
“The TechCrunch article is a rumor and not factually accurate. We have no further information to share at the moment.”
When asked Facebook, they replied with a non-committal
“We don’t comment on rumors or speculation.”
Is it a good idea?
While we now know that the deal isnt happening, we must keep in mind that the same move must have been thought over by some or the other company. WhatsApp has become extremely popular and is available on almost all the major platforms out there. It has always been at the No.1 spot of downloaded Apps in the iOS App Store in every country at some point or the other and it recently reached the milestone of a 100 million downloads from the Google Play store. With such popular statistics, there must be some company in the works to capitalize on its massive user base.Source: AllThingsD.com
