Just One Idea

The duo took a break from their work at Yahoo company. They really desired something new, so traveled to South America as a break from work. One of them got an iPhone and realized that the App store was about creating an industry of apps. He became enthused, and went to discuss with his friends. Immediately, he got an idea. He thought of an app that would have statuses next to individual names of the people. He named the app "WhatsApp" to sound like "What's up", or "What are you up to", an active phrase that could make any youth interested, even the old ones. On February 24, 2009, WhatsApp became incorporated in California. At a point, he was fed up because the app often crashed and got stuck, but his friend encouraged him to wait for a few more months. Him and his friends had invested over $250,000. The app later had android and other versions. By December 2013, WhatsApp had got over 400 million users. On February 19, 2014, Facebook bought over WhatsApp for $19 billion. The duo had invested not up to 1% of that amount but became billionaires in approximately 5 years after, just from one idea. An idea can give you the money that the smartest scam cannot give you. The names of the duo are Jan Koum and Brian Acton, founders of Whatsapp freeware. #Blessings
