    Not being a user of WhatsApp or any other social media app on my BB or on my computer, it makes no difference to me. I don't understand why people get all excited about these apps, and the need to share their life and what they are up now with their friends on these social media sites. Who cares if you at a party or out shopping or what a particular pop star or movie star is up to or is having a bad hair day!!!!

    Do you know any anti-smartphone/anti-answering machine holdouts? They're a hoot. They figure that if you need to talk to them that badly you will give the a call whenever they are home. Otherwise, it can't be that important, right? In my profession, when I run across one of these people, I call once and if there's no answer or their voicemail isn't set up then I send them snail-mail letter telling them to call me.

    If a platform's market share is less than the margin of error, then I think they can overlook it.

    They want to make it available to everyone on a growing OS. Whatsapp calling is in beta for Tizen OS.

    I will say I know a lot more anti-smartphone/anti-answering machine holdouts than I do BB10 users. Maybe an interesting opportunity.

    OK, may interesting isn't the right word.

    If BB10 users just get the Android version of WA, or if they just use WA on their other devices, then WA won't have lost many users at all, right?

    We use Whatsapp only so local shops and their customers to connect with us, easily and fast. All people use Whatsapp, so that's why we did it like that, and they love it. We have Facebook for the same purpose, our average response time is < than 5 minutes now. It saves us a lot of time and thus money over the traditional email. Sadly we still need email for legal and official documents.

    If Facebook acquired WhatsApp it doesn't mean that WhatsApp is just another social media app. You might use whatsapp in your daily work and it can be very useful, or in a group meeting. Once you use it then you will get why people would like to have whatsapp.

    I run my own business we do about 7 million a year across Canada, either by VM, text, or email, I survive very nicely each year we grow. Sorry everyone I am a dinosaur, what can I say. We don't have a Facebook or Twitter accounts, have a Web page. People do business with people and a handshake means something.

    Depending on what your business is, that is certainly doable. You gave to admit though, as time goes on, it becomes more difficult to grow most businesses without a social media presence. You must be doing something right though!

    Me too. But I also like to tweet random thoughts and retweet things. And it's good for messaging at times.
