Facebook failed to buy Snapchat for $3 billion so it looks like they were determined not to lose a second deal. They've just bought WhatsApp for $16 billion.
WhatsApp has about 450 million users, who get the service free for one year, then have to pay a dollar. Experts all say it's a good deal to ensure FB doesn't get left behind, but no-one seems certain how profits are going to be generated from all those users.
Lol, I think they're they're trying to recapture all those teens fleeing Mom and Dad on Facebook.
