It's been a little while since it was completed the purchase of WhatsApp by Facebook. An operation of about $ 22 billion that at the moment is not giving benefits to the multinational now owned by Marck Zuckerberg which already exceeds the figure of 700 million active users per month.
According to sources close to the WhatsApp directive and published in the Wall Street Journal, the WhatsApp application, still adding in the eight months since it was bought by Facebook a whopping 250 thousand more active users monthlyEven so, the company would be in a negative balance that would report losses in the last semester amounting to 230 million.
According to his own WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum, WhatsApp's negative balance for 2014 is normal due to the heavy investment in the purchase of the instant messaging application that dominates the planet, and this presumably will become profitable upon reaching XNUMX billion active users, something that is expected to be achieved throughout next year 2015, the year that will be the year in which the long-awaited and longed-for WhatsApp voice calls will arrive.
What is really intriguing about this news is the reason for the great rise of the WhatsApp application itself in terms of monthly active users. That is, people who have the application installed on their smartphone, paying the amount of 1 dollar while there are others quality alternatives that already include the expected voice calls over the internet, more attractive designs for the user or instant messaging applications that are even capable of offering us online games to play with our interlocutors in real time.
The only thing that occurs to me when explaining this more and more WhatsApp downloads, even though it is a paid application, is that the mobile technology user, despite always wanting to be up-to-date, is reluctant to try new applications that are probably much better than WhatsApp; for the main reason or cause that as WhatsApp is the one that everyone uses, I'll play it safe and that's it.
22 trillion dollars? I think the figure is wrong by several zeros …………… .. I understand that it was 22.000 million
Very true friend thank you for the correction actually meant 22 billion dollars and 230 million dollars of losses.
Greetings and thanks again friend, but among so many figures one ends up getting really dizzy.
Stop being funny. In the USA One billion is 1 trillion.
And how funny the photo of the woman with the Nokia N8 juas!
How do I do a bad multiplication?
