Facebook Gutted By Whatsapp Content

20th Feb 2014

Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives are said to be in shock this morning after they finally got their hands on the content generated by Whatsapp users. The company paid a staggering $16bn for Whatsapp, who have just 55 employees,  in the latest buy-out insanity but are now said to be ruing the decision after reviewing the type of content Whatsapp users have actually been posting.

Unlike most Facebook content, the information posted in private Whatsapp threads has been revealed to be far more useless to advertising executives than was previously thought.

“We were going to put adverts in Whatsapp threads based on people’s conversations”, said senior Facebook executive Randolph Diddlebrook, “but much of the conversations we are seeing just  seem to be discussions between male friends regarding their bowel or masturbation habits”.
 

Try targetting adverts at these lads

According to Diddlebrook, Facebook management have now moved away from the idea that revenue can be generated from adverts on Whatsapp and have instead focussed on a vague goal of ‘connecting the world’ while they readjust their business model.

“It’s likely our next acquisition will be toilet tissue company”.
