Do you think Google will buy WhatsApp chat app for 1 billion

[froggyboy604]

I read on http://news.yahoo.com/google-reported-p ... 43496.html that Google is close to buying WhatsApp for 1 Billion.

I think Google may buy WhatsApp chat app for 1 billion because it has so many users, and is well known in emerging places like Latin America and Asia.

I guest soon it may be possible for a person with a Google Account to text chat with someone on WhatsApp from a Google Plus chat, and Google Talk.

Interesting story. What would Google get from the app, that they don't already have in Google talk / their IM service that works with Gmail?

Google will get more users from Whatsapp members who signed up for WhatsApp since WhatsApp is popular in Latin America, Asia, and other places, but I think Google is less popular outside of the western world like North America, and Europe.

I read somewhere that Whatsapp is like SMS/text, and all you need to join is download the Whatsapp app, and use your existing mobile number, and Whatsapp automatically find your name, and make an WhatsApp account for you by looking up information connected to your mobile number.

Wouldn't this give Google a bigger presence on the iPhone compared to what it has now?

I really hope google doesn't buy it, they always buy things and ruin them, YouTube is a good example of this! I don't want to watch adverts before my video, I really couldn't care less about the new car Ford is releasing, just let me watch what I selected in the first place! #rantover

Google just likes buying things. I guess that's how they got where they are now.
I wish they get into the gaming market and buy out Dairy Farm Simulator, lol

They might because Google has money and want to own everything.

That's what I would if I had that amount of money.
