I think people love to look at the products they've discontinued, and they have discontinued a lot, but they fail to point out all the products that have stuck around. I think it's likely a result of a company trying a lot of things rather than a company that can't focus like the author implies. People don't talk about Facebooks failed products like email, dating, phone, beacon, portal etc.
- eru 6y agoPortal has failed? That's a shame.
- evad3r 6y agoIs that likely due to a lot of those niche Facebook products simply launching to very little hype? Or simply only launching to a very select audience for essentially testing purposes? I remember hype around the Facebook Phone and Facebook Email, but that's about it really. Email didn't really feel like a death either as the rest of Messenger continued to evolve to what it became today.
