Comment on What’s Up With Whatsapp? Facebook Might Want To Buy It, That’s What

Comments

They are up to 10 billion msgs a day now.

So incredibly crazy- More than 100k messages a second.

What's the benefit over email? I still don't get it.

Whatsapp works faster for me than gmail on my android. I can insert images, audio, group chat, mute notifications per group, smilies, share my location, snap and send a photo. also, not everyone wants to mix their SMS and email.

Free SMS/MMS, on countries which don't have a flat message plan, like Spain

Probably the reason ALL my Spanish friends have Whatsapp... it really is huge over there.
