This was announced by those responsible for the social network through its press department, congratulating themselves on joining theteam Facebook as vice president of David Marcus, until now president of PayPal But why file the president of a payment service through the Internet in a social network? According to Facebook her mission will be to lead efforts in mobile messaging. Something this company has a lot to do with since bought WhatsApp, in addition to its own application and another tool that is already on the way
David Marcus is an important figure within the technology industry. At 23 he already created his own startup. Experience that would help him to reach the vice presidency of PayPal in 2011, leading the strategy of this payment platform through the mobile phones, and one year later he became president of the company itself PayPal Since then this service has grown and innovated offeringnew means of mobile commerce both for users and companies. Something that must have caught the attention of the creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg,to add to their ranks in the field of messaging.
And its mission is clear according to the note on Facebook Currently messaging is part of the core of the social network and a way to achieve the goal of making the world more connected and open. Something that helps to have more than 200 million users of Facebook Messenger, the social network's own messaging application, and which already counts as a wholemore than twelve billion messages a day But in this information they do not confirm if David Marcus will help to lead this same application or the rumored Slingshot that is to come. And it is that in the note of Facebook they only talk about leading new messaging experiences.
This is where the arrival of David Marcus makes real sense, helping Facebook to get an application profitable and effective that conquers the young public that I miss this social network so much.An application that already has a name and that, probably by mistake, was temporarily seen in the App Store recently It would be Facebook Slingshot, a new standalone app focused on messaging that self-destructs Yeah, in the style of what you've been doingSnapchat
It would be the second attempt by Facebook to marry a young audience through an ephemeral messaging tool, except with the difference in the presence of David Marcus among its ranks. A matter that is still not officially confirmed, but that would be the logical step after the rumors that this tool is supervised by himself Zuckerberg, and that has a long development over time, unlike the defunct Poke applicationIn addition, with a messaging application that already offers benefits such as WhatsApp, only the I doubt if Marcus arrives to make profitable and successful Facebook Messenger (more than 200 million users)or try it from scratch with a new application that is coming soon. Time will tell.
