Facebook Interested in Buying BlackBerry Manufacturer

Facebook Interested BlackBerry Manufacturer | One of the reasons why the stock performance is not up to expectations some people is the fact that the company's social networking site does not have a tangible physical product (tangible).

Current business model is not sustainable, with 82 percent of revenue comes from advertising. While nearly half of the 901 million users accessing Facebook from a mobile application that can not be seized with commercial messages.

Soon, the situation may be changing because Facebook is rumored to be interested in buying Research in Motion (RIM), manufacturer of the Blackberry smartphone. That way, Facebook could have hardware products to enhance investor confidence in its stock.

Paul Amsellem, head of Mobile Networks Group's operations in France, believes that it would soon become a reality. "Facebook is facing pressure from investors and need a long term project," he said, as quoted by International Business Times.

Another advantage of buying RIM is Facebook can make money through applications and other features on a smartphone of its own.
