While thoughts of Facebook's acquisition of Whatsapp are still fresh in your mind, let me take this chance to remind you of what nearly happened between Facebook and another messaging company, you guessed it (or not), Snapchat, Mark Zuckerberg's colossus of a company wanted to acquire the little up and coming company for $3 billion cash, yes, the amount was in Billions, it seems Facebook has a knack of buying billion dollar things, I wonder if they will buy my idea for a billion dollars. That particular attempt at acquiring Snapchat did not go through, I guess the guys and girls at Snapchat had anothe figure in their heads, or they just thought their "little" company had the potential to make them more than the $3 billion Mr Zuckerberg was offering, well, we will just have to wait and see if they really did make the right choice or did they just make the most expensive blunder of their lives.
