As much as we are all told to not encourage rumours, we sometimes just can't resist, can we?
WhatsApp Rumoured to be Acquired by Facebook
According to this report by TechCrunch, WhatsApp and Facebook were in talks to discuss how the social networking giant will acquire the popular mobile messaging app. In recent times, we've seen the multi-platform paid app becoming more and more popular. What makes WhatsApp a success is, it can be used on any mobile platform, and second, there are no annoying ads because it's a paid app. Facebook recently acquired Instagram, but WhatsApp is a different game altogether. Reacting to the report, WhatsApp connected with AllThingsD to give out this statement: “The TechCrunch article is a rumor and not factually accurate. We have no further information to share at the moment.” But WhatsApp co-founder Brian Acton, according to the TechCrunch report, "apparently has pitched to Facebook before." Perhaps we should keep watching this one.
