When FB bought WhatsApp, they estimated that the user base only had a useful life of seven years.

That was one or two years ago now and I'm not sure if the estimate has been updated, but it would seem FB is running out of time to convert the user base.

Do you have a source for your claims?

I can pull the link for you tomorrow.

Here you go: http://investor.fb.com/secfiling.cfm?filingid=1326801-14-47&...

The claim is made at about 95% of the way through that document.
