besides facebook website and its mobile app, everything that FB created has failed - facebook mobile os, chat heads etc.
- sirkneeland 11y agoAre there any data released on use of chat heads (in Android, the only OS where they can exist)? Personally I love chatheads, they're why I've driven so much of my messaging into FB Messenger. But I would certainly be curious as to how many users disable them.
- snowwrestler 11y agoMessenger is heavily used. You might be including that in your assessment of the central service, but it is a standalone app now.
- JBReefer 11y agoI'm in that horrible demographic (white uppermiddle class New Yorker who lives in a cool neighborhood) that's probably the most valuable in the US, and literally _all_ of my friends use Facebook Messenger as their primary means of communication. Name another service that: 1. Doesn't require me to ask you for your screenname 2. Syncs seamlessly between all of my devices 3. Works well with video/pictures/video phone calls 4. Isn't swamped with spam There isn't one. Don't let selection bias blur your view.
- askafriend 11y agoYou realize Messenger has 800mm monthly active users right? They're sitting there waiting to be monetized. Messenger is HUGE and they're turning it into a platform, which is very very smart of them. Groups is huge too, it's sitting there also waiting to be monetized and in their latest earnings call, they emphasized that they are investing more heavily into Groups to bring it to it's full potential. It's been put on the back burner for a while, but it will become huge.
