Sweet. Clean design, and I like that its quite clear cut and focused in terms of what it does unlike, say, Basecamp.
Have you spoken to the clients of your potential clients, i.e the clients of the agencies and designers who it seems you're targeting, at least based on the opening text?
I can definitely see some designers and agencies buying into this, however I wonder how stubbornly set in their ways some of their own clients are.
Long time lurker, first time poster here. There are tons of factors to this deal, but here's a simplistic take.
If:
(Google acquires WhatsApp and builds from its existing social network of 450m active users to form a mobile version of Google+ on steroids)
And:
($19Bn FB investment) minus (Actualized FB profit from WhatsApp over 10 years) is greater than (Potential lost profit to Google+WhatsApp in the social networking space)
Then: Buy WhatsApp
I also think its been largely undiscussed that WhatsApp was a company desperately wanted by both Google (for a, finally, serious attempt at competing in social networking) and FB (for a bunch of reasons, as well as defending against a potential Google acquisition) really helped to significantly propel this deal valuation.
