=====================

Mark Zuckerberg has announced the acquisition of whatsApp by to on his profile update a few minutes ago.
=++++++++++++=
I’m excited to announce that we’ve agreed to acquire WhatsApp and that their entire team will be joining us at Facebook.

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. We do this by building services that help people share any type of content with any group of people they want. WhatsApp will help us do this by continuing to develop a service that people around the world love to use every day.

WhatsApp is a simple, fast and reliable mobile messaging service that is used by over 450 million people on every major mobile platform. More than 1 million people sign up for WhatsApp every day and it is on its way to connecting one billion people. More and more people rely on WhatsApp to communicate with all of their contacts every day.

WhatsApp will continue to operate independently within Facebook. The product roadmap will remain unchanged and the team is going to stay in Mountain View. Over the next few years, we're going to work hard to help WhatsApp grow and connect the whole world. We also expect that WhatsApp will add to our efforts forInternet.org, our partnership to make basic internet services affordable for everyone.

WhatsApp will complement our existing chat and messaging services to provide new tools for our community. Facebook Messenger is widely used for chatting with your Facebook friends, and WhatsApp for communicating with all of your contacts and small groups of people. Since WhatsApp and Messenger serve such different and important uses, we will continue investing in both and making them each great products for everyone.

WhatsApp had every option in the world, so I’m thrilled that they chose to work with us. I’m looking forward to what Facebook and WhatsApp can do together, and to developing great new mobile services that give people even more options for connecting.

I've also known Jan for a long time, and I know that we both share the vision of making the world more open and connected. I'm particularly happy that Jan has agreed to join the Facebook board and partner with me to shape Facebook's future as well as WhatsApp's.

Jan and the WhatsApp team have done some amazing work to connect almost half a billion people. I can’t wait for them to join Facebook and help us connect the rest of the world.



San Fransisco. Mtandao wa kijamii wa Facebook umenunua programu ya huduma za meseji ya WhatsApp kwa dola za marekani bilioni 19 (TSh 30.9 trilioni) katika taarifa iliyotoka mapema leo. Ununuzi huo wa WhatsApp umetengeneza mabilionea wapya angalau watatu, akiwemo mwanzilishi wa WhatsApp, Jan Koum, ambaye atajiunga na bodi ya wakurugenzi ya Facebook. Mwanzilishi mwenza wa WhatsApp, Brian Acton, naye anaingia katika orodha ya mabilionea wapya vijana. Miaka 4 iliyopita, Acton alijaribu kuomba kazi Facebook na Twitter baada ya kupunguzwa kutoka Yahoo, inaripoti blogu ya teknolojia ya Techcrunch. Hakufanikiwa. Leo hii, program aliyoitengeneza na rafikiye wa Yahoo, Koum, inagombaniwa na kampuni zilezile zilizomkataa na hatimaye, imenunuliwa kwa mabilioni ya dola na Facebook. Wengine walioula ni wawekezaji wa kwanza wa WhatsApp toka kampuni ya uwekezaji ya Sequoia. Techcruch inaripoti vijana wa Sequoia wametengeneza zaidi ya dola bilioni 3 (TSh 4.9 trilioni) –mara 50 ya pesa waliowekeza –katika ‘dili’ hilo. Facebook, ambao ni mtandao mkubwa kuliko yote duniani ukiwa na wanachama zaidi ya bilioni 1, inaamini kuwa WhatsApp itasaidia kuongeza uwepo wake katika masoko mbalimbali duniani, hasa katika nchi zinazoendelea Afrika, Asia na Amerika Kusini ambapo teknolojia ya simu za mkononi imeshika hatamu. Uamuzi huo unaipa Facebook nafasi ya kuongeza idadi ya watumiaji wa mtandao wake, itarithi zaidi ya watumiaji milioni 450 wa WhatsApp. Mwanzilishi na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg anaamini uamuzi wa kuinunua WhatsApp kwa dola bilioni 19 ni wa busara, kwa kuwa “[WhatsApp] ni mtandao unaokuwa kwa haraka, ambayo itafikia watumiaji zaidi ya bilioni moja hivi punde.”

Fb + Instagram + whatsApp. ==, Now looking forward for even more federated social apps or maybe Facebook wants to kill whatsApp and advance it's messenger as these software Giants often kill competitors by acquisition. That's unlikely given the $16Bn but we'll see.
 
Tayari deal imeshakubaliwa na Zuckerberg kwenye official fb page yake ameshatangaza.

Naona Mark anataka kuiteka Dunia kwenye kila aina ya social network na social messeging
 
Facebook has reportedly paid $16Bn in cash and stock options in the acquisition deal. Whoa!

I hope itakua bure ila tutegemee Matangazo Ya Fb..... Au Mambo yale ya Connect with Fa n Instagram ambayo yataipunguzia privacy..... Na watu weng tuliipenda whatsapp kuliko nimbuzz kulko na some privacy kama ya ku connect kwa namba za simu tuu
 
Tayari watsap wameshaingia cha kike apa habari za matangazo na maujinga mengine ya fb yanakaribia kwa watsap
 
huyu jamaa anamatamaa sana,

akinunua app huwa zinadorola. Nimeshahamia Telegram kwa messenger zenye kubeba kila aina ya File
 
Hapa jamaa sasa waiupdate iende sambamba na competition maana viber, na wenzake wanamkimbiza whatsapp vibaya sana
 
Sidhani kama Mark is dumb enough kuinvest $16B kwenye app hiyo, anataka kuweka nini, matangazo?!!! I smell LE behind it! fuq FBI!

Wai-update nini, achaneni nayo hamieni kwingine bana, hawa watu hawana nia nzuri hata kidogo.

Tatizo sio rahisi kuwahamisha watu.wote kutoka whatsapp hasa wazee ambao hukuta iko pre installed kwenye device zao. Na ukizungumzia kuhama kila mtu atahamia anapopataka yeye wewe uende telegram, mwingine viber mwingine Line basi itabidi uwe na apps nyingi ambazo zitakuwa zikifanya same thing

Kama facebook wataingiza maswala ya matangazo obvious whatsapp itakufa ama wakikomalia kuchaji watu hela basi.itakufa tu

Sielewi nini ni nini juu ya hii tofauti ya US $3b.
My concern ilikuwa kwenye hii kitu ukiibadilisha kwenye shilling za Kitanzania inafikia kiasi gani!? ...hailingani na bajeti yetu kwa ujumla ya miaka miwili!?
Na hiyo ni kampuni ndogo tu kwa USA, mnaotoleaga mifano ya "...kwa mfano ukienda America..." ndio tujue sasa wako mbali nasi kiasi gani!
