I hold the opposite view, Facebook itself has lost social momemtum to Instagram, Twitter and others, and this is eroding their grip on the high value parts of the social graph.
- ms013 8y agoInstagram seems to be coming up a lot as a place people are leaving to from facebook. It’s owned by facebook. I wouldn’t say that is eroding facebook’s access to social data as much as it may seem.
- fooker 8y agoYou know Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp, right?
- metildaa 8y agoI know, but the point is social networking sites are ephemeral, owning the social graph of older social groups does not ensure dominance of younger social groups.
- fooker 8y agoIt does if they they have the same backend. For example, Facebook and Instagram each use your network from the other to for friend suggestions.
- dewey 8y agoBut Instagram is FB too so they are not losing anything. People link their accounts and friends and the social graph continues. They push FB connections into IG pretty hard these days.
