TL;DR: "You are the product", says rich guy who runs competing business.
- moreorless 9y agoDoes not make what he is saying any less true.
- ggggtez 9y agoI'm just saving you time reading it.
- moreorless 9y agoNo you're not. You're trying to taint me with your bias.
- ForHackernews 9y agoWhat's his competitor? I'd be curious to try a social network developed by Woz.
- craftyguy 9y agoMaybe they think Woz runs Apple?
- ggggtez 9y agoI was referring to Apple. If you look you'll find that FB has various products that compete with Apple. One obvious example is Messenger vs iMessage.
- danpalmer 9y agoWoz doesn’t work at Apple. I’m also not sure that iMessage and Messenger are even that direct competitors, the former is not a revenue stream for Apple directly, whereas the latter is for Facebook. I personally use them for very different purposes, and to communicate with different sorts of people. I’d suspect many people might be in a similar position.
- ceejayoz 9y ago> I was referring to Apple. The company Wozniak left almost twenty years before Facebook's founding?
- toomuchtodo 9y ago> If you look you'll find that FB has various products that compete with Apple. One obvious example is Messenger vs iMessage. iMessage doesn't filter or scrape my private conversations. Facebook Messenger is a second class citizen in this regard.
- 9935c101ab17a66 9y agoNot only does he not "run" apple, he doesn't work for them at all as fair as I know. And I also wouldn't say that Facebook and Apple are simply "competing businesses". They certainly have some area of market overlap, but they operate in vastly different spaces with vastly different models.
