You know am feeling lucky because of the way technology is changing the world and I always see changes as an opportunity and I see the Whatapps emerging change If what am reasoning in my head, is exactly how this feature is going to work, then i can tell you all that, you wont recharge as often as you use to again. whatsapp wants to introduce free calls.
Below is a press release that was made.
"WhatsApp Inc., the mobile messaging service that agreed to be acquired last week by Facebook Inc. for $19 billion, said Monday that it would offer voice calling as early as April, allowing free phone calls among WhatsApp's 465 million users. Jan Koum, the co-founder and chief executive of WhatsApp, also said during a speech at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that he is hoping to grow the service to one or two billion users. Mr. Koum said that the WhatsApp voice product would "focus on simplicity" as it has with its text-based messaging service. He said that WhatsApp would first release a version of the voice service for Apple Inc.'s iPhone and Google Inc.'s Android platforms, followed by services for Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone, as well as some phones by BlackBerry Ltd. and Nokia Corp.
"We want to continue to have that minimalistic approach to the product," he said. "We at WhatsApp want to get out of the way and let people communicate." Mr. Koum added that the voice product would "use the least amount of bandwidth, and we optimize the hell out of it."
Speaking about the Facebook acquisition announcement earlier this month, Mr. Koum said that the product wouldn't change, stressing that WhatsApp would remain independent. He cited Instagram's example, after the acquisition of the photo-sharing service by Facebook.
Mr. Koum said that WhatsApp was likely valuable to Facebook because "we both want to make the world more connected," though Mr. Koum stressed that WhatsApp wanted to know "as little as possible" about its users, including details such as a user's name. "There are no plans to change anything that we do with the product today," he said, using words like "minimalistic," "utilitarian" and "uncluttered" to describe his philosophy."
Summary and Reaction
Am a trend watcher and a fan because it never lies and is always your friend and thats why I like following the trend.
The world is becoming more networked. Facebook bought Whatapp because in their smart thinking Whatsapps is the next Mobile SMS platform and the recent addition of calls is Genius.
Why would facebook buy whatapps for $19billion a free software we just chat with, rendering services or product? My thinking cap is on
There is a Culture Shift coming up and facebook is positioning its self just like they did in the Dot Com era
You see in my seminars and empowerment programs when I tell people that facebook and other social networks are leveraging on the concept of Network Marketing also know as Multi level marketing they giggle or laugh. The question you should ask your self is how did facebook build is 1.3billion membership globally in less than five years without publicity budget e.g News paper advert, Road Show, bill board, flyers or have you ever seen facebook calling you or telling you on your TV screen to come and signup and refer someone to their platform without being paid?
The point is we built facebook, YES I and you without being paid and Network Marketing and the company am with www.trevocorporate.com/coach/greenhope pays you to refer people and build your own network of wealth. Within 7 months I have raised lots of millionaire in my team now earning in dollars through Network Marketing but what pains me more is the way people behave when they see an opportunity in Network Marketing and they look the other way when the very thing between their eye is the platform the billionaire earners like our Dangote and the facebook is into. Your wandering while involve Dangote, is he into network marketing and I will say Yes because right in our kitchen now from fruit juice, tomoto paste, sugar , salt , flour and maybe your house was built with his cement is network marketing concept wise.
Any way, if your interested in building your own network on a global platform without losing your health and earn from transactions done in far Asia and around the world as the Trevo intelligent suppliment made with 174 super fruits and herbs revolves around the world be my guess.
