    What does Facebook have in mind with the acquisition of WhatsApp?

    eyeballs for ads and a range of privacy violating nonsense. Though, as I understand it its still being operated separately for the time being.

    Hopefully they'll use it as a lab monkey to see how they can improve their ugly, slow and disfunctional FB chat :D

    Facebook will ruin Whatsapp with all kinds of "cool" features and ads. Also privacy is gone for sure...

    I see no reason to panic. FB acquired Instagram a while ago, and as a long time user I see no difference in how it USED to work and how it works now.

    Facebook will be using WhatsApp to reach the disappearing younger people. Check out who uses WhatsApp the most.

    Haha that's so true.

    I'm guessing an integration of the Facebook postings into the chats.
