Why we don't sell ads [2012]

Jan's a great guy. Brian's a great guy. The way whatsapp (the company) works is a great counter-example to the conventional wisdom on how to run a consumer technology company in the valley.

Hey Jan/Brian, just one request - can you please open up the whatsapp messaging platform as an API with a simple charge-the-user with no-stored-user-info model that nobody in the valley believes could work for a social network. I'd become an even bigger fan of the company :-)
