ReplyDeleteNow, the psychological profile of Zuckerberg has gotten a bit more complicated with the over-the-top acquisition of message firm WhatsApp for $19 billion. With a "B."

Profits, not eyeballs, are what matters
It's been some time since we heard about companies building their businesses solely based on eyeballs. Facebook is now doing just that. They'll worry about profits later. Can you blame them when the market has rewarded such misguided behavior in the past?
While there have been a few companies that were able to survive and thrive with such a model – think Amazon.com (AMZN -0.41%) -- Facebook's is not likely to be one of them. Is that perhaps why Facebook did the WhatsApp deal?
