you dont need a FBaccount for Whatsapp... FB messenger wanted to do this.. but Whatsapp has a much bigger potential to be part of every day conversations. similar to why FB was better than myspace..

But then if you don't need an FB account for Whatsapp, FB is not going to show you any relevant add.
i never said they are saying to serve it in whatsapp. its all about the data and the content.. its not about what they will definitely do. but what they could potentially do.

My girlfriend talks to pretty much everyone except for me through Facebook Messenger.
