It's fascinating to see these tech giants fight each other for control over the Internet empire. Eventually I think we will see 1 by 1 they will fall, and a couple will remain. This is Facebook's attempt to take on Amazon and Google both at once, and given their huge user base and method of engagement, they may just have a shot at it.
I can see it now. Scroll Instagram to see photos of your friends wearing new clothes, "like" the photo. Get an ad the next day for that same product now available from a Facebook Shop for 40% off. Use your Facebook Credits to buy it.

- draw_down 6y agoThey all try and use their strengths to wander into each other’s territory, often unsuccessfully. Both Amazon and FB tried it with phones, for example. I think it’s all just as likely to end in stalemate.
