How does Oculus play in?
If we view FB core platform as strictly a distribution platform for FB to push new product out, it is a stronghold/moat.
Single auth and FB login's ubiquity may continue to allow FB to safeguard their position as a distribution platform. Not to mention the current success of WhatsApp and Instagram, as many others pointed out on the thread.
From Elad Gil's interview with Marc Andreessen [1]:
> "In fact, the general model for successful tech companies, contrary to myth and legend, is that they become distribution-centric rather than product-centric."
> "They become a distribution channel, so they can get to the world. And then they put many new products through that distribution channel."
