WhatsApp Facebook? Twitter is laughing at your $19bn deal

Twitter has been abuzz with jokes and snarky comments over Facebook acquiring WhatsApp. Here's what people tweeted about as they woke up to this mammoth news on Thursday morning.

From people requesting Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to purchase the Indian Railways website, to condemning this as a 'foolish act' for having bought something that can be downloaded for free, people have tweeted funny stuff on the mammoth deal.

Yaar, Zuckerberg, if you are still into acquiring internet services that people spend enormous time on, may I suggest IRCTC.
