When I first saw the news on Facebook, I wondered to myself if this would be good news for us. I started asking myself questions such as "What does this mean for whatsapp? Will everyone who has Whatsapp be forced to have a Facebook account? Will Whatsapp/Facebook be integrated into each other and make it easier for users to connect through both media platforms as the likes of Facebook and Instagram or would Whatsapp have a bigger platform and even end up being used as, not only a mobile app, but a full computer application? I am sure everybody must be asking themselves a lot of questions regarding this news and how it will affect both parties not only physically but technically as well.
Last night, 22/2/2014, the whole world got the first taste of Marc's reign when the Whatsapp app went down for a few hours, leaving users confused and upset. Some "experts" suggested that it was due to technical change caused by some of Facebook's developers, who have been trying to make both, Facebook and Whatsapp, work together.
I simply can't wait to see what this partnership will mean for the internet world and to everybody that uses both platforms. Mark is a smart guy, as we have come to learn from him throughout the years and he takes every opportunity he sees. I wish him all the best at his new endeavor and may this be a good partnership for all of us.
