Social networking Facebook Inc is in talks to acquire popular messaging app Whatsapp , a move that will beef-up its mobile services business, says a media report.
It certainly sounds like the kind of move Facebook would go for. With a user count having gone past the one billion mark, Mark Zuckerberg's social networking brainchild is exploring how it can widen its business model to expand its reach still further.
Whatsapp, which was founded in 2009, has 1,000 million daily active users globally and delivers about one billion messages per day.
The social networking firm, which was founded eight years ago by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students, at present has around one billion users across the world.
