What’s Next for Facebook?

Facebook’s acquisition of mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion in cash and stock, is by far Mark Zuckerberg-led company’s largest acquisition and bigger than any that Google, Microsoft or Apple Inc have ever done.

Facebook said it is keeping WhatsApp as a separate service, just as it did with Instagram, which it bought for about $715.3 million in two years ago.
 Facebook has just acquired whatsApp for $19billion. Here is an social networking site which is a decade old and the other is a messaging app which is not even  5 years old,so that bring a question on my mind does Facebook want to take over the social world ? after even acquire Instagram almost two years ago .
 quite similar to Facebook and here are the few similarities
You can block a number ,like a friend on Facebook 
You can also update status here just like you do on Facebook 
thats not all you can share photos,upload videos and change profile picture regularly 
but the difference is its one of the most popular “messaging app”which is used instead of SMS  in today time .
WhatsApp is available on free download on Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Nokia, and Windows smartphones. All Android phones running the Android 2.1 and above, all BlackBerry devices running OS 4.7 and later, including BlackBerry 10, and all iPhones running iOS 4.3 and later.
Also a drawback of whatsApp is you can’t sent friend request like you do on Facebook as once somebody as your contact and whatsApp he can already view your profile the details like your ,status,pictures .Since you are on his/her contact and if you too are on whatsApp .WhatsApp Inc. was  founded in 2009 by Americans Brain acton & Jan koum (CEO) who are ex-employees of Yahoo !

History of Zumba!!!

Zumba

Zumba is a dance  fitness program created by Colombian dancer and  Choreographer Alberto”Beto” Perez  during the 1990s.

Zumba sessions are typically about an hour long.The exercises include music with fast and slow rhythms, as well as resistance training.The music comes from the following dance styles:Cumbia,Salsa,merengue,mambo ,flamenco ,chachacha,reggaeton, soca,samba,hip hop music ,axe music and tango  . There are eight different types of classes for different levels of age and exertion.Zumba Toning is for the people who do their workouts with toning sticks. Zumba Toning will target the abs, thighs, arms, and other muscles throughout the body. Zumba Toning is adding sculpting of body and cardio.

In the 1990s, Beto Perez forgot his tape of aerobics music for a class he was teaching. He went to his car, listened to music – consisting of traditional Salsa and merengue music – and improvised a class using this non-traditional aerobics music. After finding initial success in Colombia, he moved to the United States in 2001, where he teamed up with cofounder Alberto Perlman and a childhood friend, COO Alberto Aghion. The trio produced a demo reel , and the concept was discovered and licensed by a company called Fitness Quest to create a direct marketing campaign and a line of  Home videos.

Zumba involves  dance and aerobic elements. Zumba’s choreography incorporates hip-hop,soca,samba,salsa, merengue,mambo and marital arts .Squats and lunges  are also included.

TAG HEUER

The Logo of Tag heuer

Just wanted to share some interesting piece of information on the brand Tag Heuer . The watch which all watch lovers would like to own , at least one piece from their collection In there lifetime .
Tag acronym stands for  Techniques d’Avant Garde and  Heuer is surname of Edouard the founder of Tag Heuer
Tag heuer  was founded in 1985 when tag manufacturers of high-tech items such as ceramic turbochargers for Formula One cars, acquired Heuer.But as we known these watches are mainly popular in the sports world for their accurate measuring instruments. Mostly popular among athletes, these timepieces are  a craze in the market among watch lovers too.
But did you know?

 *TAG Heuer traces its roots to the 1860 foundation of Uhrenmanufaktur Heuer AG by Edouard Heuer in St.Imier, Switzerland. The company was purchased by TAG Group (Holding )S.A. in 1985 and the Heuerbrand became TAG Heuer. In 1999, TAG Group sold TAG Heuer to French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH which stands for  Louis Vuitton  Moet Hennessy .

*In the early 1950s, Heuer produced watches for the American retailer Abercrombie & Fitch  The “Seafarer” and “Auto-Graph” the two collection pieces  were unique chronographs produced by Heuer to be sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. The “Seafarers” had special dials—with blue, green and yellow patterns—that showed the high and low tides. This dial could also be used to track the phases of the moon. Heuer produced a version of the “Seafarer” for sale under the Heuer name, with this model called the “Mareographe”. The “Auto-Graph” was produced in 1953 and 1954, and featured a tachymeter scale on the dial and a hand that could be preset to a specific point on the scale. This allowed a rally driver or navigator to determine whether the car was achieving the desired pace, over a measured mile. Advertisements and literature also pointed out that this hand could be rotated to count golf scores or other events.

* in most watches catalogues and in-store displays you’ll find the time is displayed as ten minutes past ten o’clock or sometimes ten minutes to two o’clock. And that is because of The popular meaning for this is that it’s “Happy Time” or that the clock is smiling which becomes an emotional marketing tool to encouraging you to feel good when you’re looking to buy that particular watch or clock.

* Jack Heuer, the great grandson of the founder, is the Honorary Chairman. TAG Heuer maintains a watchmaking workshop in Cornol , Switzerland and a watchmaking factory in La chaux-de-fonds, Switzerland. And The Brand  TAG Heuer hasn’t changed its  slogan  “Swiss Avant-Garde Since 1860”.
