Relax, Facebook has acquired the Messaging service and not Massaging, it’s just a typo!

Facebook’s acquisition of the popular messaging app, WhatsApp is very recent and big news in the IT world, which most news channels displayed. While doing it however, a news company that committed a big blunder is BBC News. The missing “e” caused a great chuckle, where BBC mistakenly posted Messaging as Massaging. Most users didn’t notice this typo, and it was only after BBC corrected the same 30 minutes after its first news got published.

The news was released late last night, where most users were just in time going to bed, so this missing or replaced “e” didn’t really created that havoc.

The release of the correct headline half an hour later by BBC actually made readers notice the very tiny error that happened. What created the giggle more was the acquisition amount, which is a whopping $16 billion, which Facebook or any other company would never shell out for a massaging service.

Many twitter users tried posting the screenshot of this funny yet tiny inaccuracy, making giggle and jokes about the super-costly rubdowns and as it being a great new perk for the employees at Facebook.
The innocent mistake by BBC News might have overshadowed the story for many, but the deal made by Facebook will now give access to 450 million users who are a part of this messaging service. Mark Zuckerberg thus described the deal as an extremely valuable one.

Still folks, its humans who can make mistake, so instead of laughing at that tiny mistake, focus on the impact that this acquisition will bring for both WhatsApp and Facebook’s popularity.
