Well... now it's a huge company. It's not like Facebook was a pre-existing massive corporation that decided to pivot and 'do this social media thing'.
- Grishnakh 10y agoFair enough, but they were a profit-seeking company, and a centralized, proprietary one at that. It wasn't some kind of open-source service that you can download and run on your own server that conquered MySpace; it was a company that started small (serving only college students at first) and hired employees and grew.
