good on them to stick with their dream and then turn it into billions.

If you never heard about it it means you have no need for it (otherwise at least one of your friends would have suggested to connect there).

I am no sure where are you pulling that big popularity of whatsapp in comparison to skype.

Your WA number is your phone number.

WA is huge over here in Holland, I use it myself a lot too.

Never heard of it in US either. Even ghetto fone services have unlimited text. They should have got paid in bitcoins :)

From their wikipedia page :
Quote:

Upon installation, it creates a user account using one's phone number as the username (Jabber ID: [phone number]@s.whatsapp.net). WhatsApp software automatically compares all the phone numbers from the device's address book with its central database of WhatsApp users to automatically add contacts to the user's WhatsApp contact list.
This is about the United States being able to "Social Media Manipulate" the Ukranian unrest to their own best interests.

The first clue something stinks is paying 16(19) billion for a cell phone application that can be easily replaced with an unlimited text message plan.

The second clue just happens that this one was designed by a Ukrainian and it is popular in nations where Facebook never got a firm hold in.

The third is there is certainly other applications that can do similar that would have been a lot cheaper.
