Facebook buying messaging app WhatsApp for $19B - The Washington Post:
"...paying $12 billion in Facebook stock and $4 billion in cash for WhatsApp. In addition, the app’s founders and employees — 55 in all — will be granted restricted stock worth $3 billion that will vest over four years after the deal closes." (deal translates to roughly 11 percent of Facebook’s market value)
WhatsApp has more than 450 million monthly active users.
...It also lets users communicate with people overseas without incurring charges for pricey international texts and phone calls.
...It costs $1 per year and has no ads (first year free)"
So this is $42.2 / user, that are paying (at best) $1 / year...
Bubble?
