Google is negotiating with Whatsapp to buy it, claims a source
familiar with the negotiation. The price on the table would lie close to
$1 billion, but Whatsapp would like a higher amount.
DigitalTrends, a well-known IT news site, has announced that there
are rumors that Google Babble will combine Google’s disparate
communication services under one roof, but the platform still needs to
do something to innovate this service. Mobile messaging has been taken
over by smaller apps and Facebook has made a major push as well.
Google hasn’t yet received an answer to its offer. Google Product
Manager Nikhyl Singhal confessed to GigaOM in June of last year that “We
have done an incredibly poor job of servicing our users here.”
“Messaging is a huge, gaping hole in Google’s mobile strategy”, he
added.
HBC: Maybe when they buy it, they will make it work faster.
