$19 billion is an incredible amount for a single mobile app business that only employs 55 people.

Agree "Goodness gracious, it's a good deal for WhatsApp"

I just read that Viber was bought too, but only for £540m http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26186031 Bit of a huge difference for essentially the same type of app

Facebook will buy fast-growing mobile-messaging startup WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock

With that money, you could build the Burj Khalifa, the One World Trade Center and the Shanghai Tower side by side. Why do we allow Facebook to exist again?

$19billion so the boys in the know at the top of facebook can once again have access to the flagged cache of preteen and teen tits and ass picture/video sexting messages that they were no longer getting access to when the girls all moved to using whatsapp... I guess they think it is worth it.

currently deciding what to replace Whatsapp with... I've had Hangouts installed for a while (very much a second back up service for me as I don't trust google). used kik in the past but not overly keen on using it - nice UI but lacks security. Telegram is now installed and hopefully hemlis will be released soon for further testing...
