That is a lot of people

That is a lot of people

no wonder our mobile service providers are so worried about the VOIP service whatsapp wants to offer...

 

[Polymathic]

That is a lot of people

Still a lot of room for growth considering there are 7 Billion people on the planet

Mark-Z indeed is a visionary, that's a lot

I know a guy with 3 profiles.

One day these guys will have whatsapp profiles once Mark-Z has it his way reaching the ends of the earth

Not his success story. They were well on their way of reaching it before he bought it.

Agree. My point is the acquisition was a good move on his part

So I wonder where are the people that jumped ship since Facebook acquired WhatsApp?

Wonder what he needs them for, perhaps 3 GFs just so he doesn't mix up things :what: haha lol

I've also got a friend with two. One is a company phone, other is his private phone. Don't know why you'd need three.

Oh snap. They're like those Woolies boycotters. Where will they go? Shoprite/Google+

Possible
