FaceBook Buys WhatsApp - A Rumour or a True News ???

WhatsApp - the largest messenging service in the world will now be under the control of the largest Social Media Site - FaceBook..... Isn't this amazing ??

In a play to dominate messaging on phones and the Web, Facebook has acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion.

That's a stunning sum for the five-year old company. But WhatsApp has been able to hold its weight against messaging heavyweights like Twitter (TWTR), Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) and Microsoft's (MSFT, Fortune 500) Skype. WhatsApp has upwards of 450 million users, and it is adding an additional million users every day.

Referring to WhatsApp's soaring growth, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on a conference call, "No one in the history of the world has done anything like that."
WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app for smartphones, according to OnDevice Research.

Buying WhatsApp will only bolster Facebook's already strong position in the crowded messaging world. Messenger, Facebook's a standalone messaging app for mobile devices, is second only to WhatsApp in its share of the smartphone market.

There are lot of questions in the minds of the readers , will WhatsApp continue to be good under the control of FaceBook ? Or , will WhatsApp improvise and add on new features ??? Lots and lots of questions are fubbling in the minds...... Your thoughts , ideas or questions are always appreciated as cooments below on the same...

Thanks ,
