WhatsApp billionaire was rejected by Facebook AND Twitter in the past

The lousers.

BRIAN ACTON PROBABLY doesn’t need to worry about looking for a new job anytime soon.

This week he sold the messaging service WhatsApp to Facebook for $16 billion ($4b in cash and $12b in stock).

Mark Zuckerberg’s gang haven’t always courted Acton though. In August 2009 he tweeted:

acton2

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, in May 2009 this happened:

acton1

Acton’s last tweet, in case you’re wondering, was in January 2012 and it simply read:

acton3

Ok, ok, if that’s how it works…

quid

And now, we wait.
