Shame for blackberry.
BBM had that instant text on lockdown for a few years. Now their app is getting sold for billions. Well, essentially "their app"...
sold for probably 4-5 times Blackberrys current Market value as a whole company. Life.

The writing is on the wall for an app bubble. Apps will still be useful but not raking in the billions
im not buying this.. a new form of social media/communication pops up every 3 or 4 years or so and blows up.. myspace>facebook>twitter>instagram>snapchat etc.
