WHICH TIME ZUCKERBERG GO COME acquire NAIRALAND
Or will seun reject the money

TechCapon:
don't forget he's the most powerful man in technology in the world right now

Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are still alive.

ElRapido:
check your mail.

I'll do that later bro. Let me finish this stuff b4 NEPA collect this light

Mrs njoku said, ''those seeking investors end up being glorified employees''

Lol, you saw Oga complaining too.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Mark sought investors too.
There is a difference between Sb buying up your company and having investors in there.

true that.
so insta was bought outrightly? I was thinking the guys still had some stakes in it.

KINGwax007:
That's called business.

Integrating Facebook and Instagram has been great itself. Infact, when u pay for ad on Facebook you can make it run on Instagram without haveing to go through the stress.

You can even link Twitter with Facebook where your tweets or retweet could always be posted as a status.

Their resignation is not going to be a problem. They'rejusy like kids who wants no changes to his toys.

Mark is a visionary and a business man, you can't make him rigid!

I'm sure those guys will think they're gonna be building a new app...

I trust mark, he'll copy everything and as u right no, make it even more attractive.

He's after YouTube already... It's just a matter of time!!!

Why can't he build his own
Why buying
Beside he copied Snapchat and do those appearing pic on Facebook

Princeofnigeria:
Facebook used magical power on this guys 6 years ago and bought a whole Instagram for just $1 billion dollars in cash and stock now this guys realised they're pained.



Since Facebook bought Instagram is now useless, monetizing everything.


I spit on mark


I spit on Facebook


I spit on useless Nigeria government that's not helping us the tech gurus

It's such a shame that these guys sold Instagram for peanuts back then. If they had waited just a bit. I imagine instagram would have been worth at least $10 - 20b.

SocialJustice:
Lol, you saw Oga complaining too.

yeah, I did.
But then I saw another guy in his mention who argued that African/Nigerian founders are so much entangled with the title of CEO and it stops them from seeking investors which could have helped their business grow.
I'm in a dilemma as to which of these arguments is superior

miraclear:
Many a Nigerian would not open this page all.Yet Facebook is making 3dollar on each one of them.Fellow Nigerian Think Local and act global.

Our hands are tight

This one that am hearing that Instagram is monetizin is it true
Cox it had been long that I've login

lol you can't blame them. they said they'll be taking time out to explore and then work on something else.
it'll be much more easier for them now than ever before....

peterangelo:

It's called business. Why build when you can buy it outrightly? Building a division to be the best takes time, so if buying it is easier in the long run, then buy.

Bayer bought Monsanto cos of the latter's proficiency in plant biotechnology ditto Takeda buying Shire Pharmaceuticals cos of Shire's knowledge in rare diseases.

Bayer and Takeda have the money. I like Mark's business knowledge. Those Insta guys come across as charitable folks. Maybe they should create an app for Oxfam.

they're just rich, they don't command the level of influence Zuckerberg has that's why American congress are always calling him to come testify. The guy can decides who wins an election by just writing a few lines of codes

hahahaha then I'll better move to America were I will be appreciated

monopoly of the market , is a bad day for other product to sell. so no financial potential for a merger cus the facebook guy will always want to favor is own...just like dongote

SarcasticGenius:


Systrom's story in inventing Instagram is inspirational, because he taught himself coding. He was actually trained as a marketer and he learned how to code at a late age in life.
As someone with a background in marketing, it's a bit disappointing that he can't see the financial potential of a merger between the Facebook and Instagram platforms. All the same I wish him luck in his future endeavours.

There are no sentiments in business.
The aim of every business is to remain the industry leader. You can buy over your competitor's product or develop products to compete with theirs and ultimately take over the market and even kick them out!
Cocacola might not really be making money from sale of sprite but they have to keep producing it to have a share of the 7UP markets.

Ehiscotch:
Zuckerburg is turning social media into his own empire , where he reigns supreme.
His monopolistic style is killing healthy competition and innovation: if he can't buy you over, he steals your ideas and makes whatever made yours attractive, well, less attractive.

Big Ups to the Snapchat dude for not letting Mark completely take over.

In as much as I love Zuckerberg's personality I think he is overreaching, trying to over-achieve. He is trying to make others do what he never did: sell his creation.

TechCapon:

OK, I get your point but you're considering political power only. In reality, Jeff and Bill have the power to control the larger world economy in a more terrifying way.

There is no such thing as over-achieveing.
Zuckerberg didn't force anyone to sell to him nor give in to his demands. No one can ever have monopoly of anything in America and there is always healthy competition.

true

How is he the most powerful when you have Jeff Besos and Elon Musk and even Apple?

You are right but lost me when you mentioned Sprite. Look, the aim of every business is to maximize profit. No business would continue running at a loss. If there was no gain in Sprite they would've stopped a long time ago.

those guys are just rich. No influence. But Zuckerberg has info on everyone at his fingertips

Lmao....you don't know what you're talking about. Where money is, there is power.
Jeff and Gates are much more powerful and influential than Zuckerberg. Wait, do you even know what being influential is?

If your business is in the social media space, fear facebook. Facebook is the amazon of social media. Ideology: BUY OR CRUSH THE COMPETITION

A founder has to remain as CEO to ensure deliverables are met. The more correct argument is Nigerian founders are so hungry for money that they erode their bargaining power significantly. Whichever way, the CEO answers to the board.

How exactly did the government help Mark? Dude, work smart and quit blaming the govt.

I think your point is a bit off.

From what was written here, Mark is breaching a clear agreement that they had.

For some people, it is not about amassing wealth, they want to retain the orginality of their creation.

You may not be able to understand this though.
