"Facebook's purchase of WhatsApp has generated a lot of noise in the financial and tech industries, with some calling the purchase price 'down-right silly' and 'jaw-dropping', and others have said the price is fair, but question the strategy. Is the purchase price evidence that we're entering entering another tech bubble reminiscent of the 1990s? Some say no, while others believe that a bubble may exist only in social media, given that the Global X Social Media Index ETF has outperformed the NASDAQ over the past year."

    Finally, DO NOT miss this link from that NPR article: http://www.wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/ [wonder-tonic.com]
    "Make Any Webpage Look Like It Was Made By A 13 Year-Old In 1996"

    I could not resist (I briefly tried), I submitted Slashdot.org to the geocitiesizer... looks better than Beta.
