Facebook did not just stay in it's little FB lane. In response to not performing well, they figured out mobile, they accquired IG, Occulus, WhatsApp and Messenger and made them key business items to expand their relevance to great effect and make gabs of money as a result.
What has twitter done to go beyond their core product? Not much other than a recent clubhouse clone and a failed snapchat story clone.
- gojomo 5y agoHey, don't forget how Twitter acquired video microblogging service Vine, used their platform power to kill comeptitor Periscope, then let the product languish into death... leaving that medium wide-open for China's TikTok to take over. Yahoo was the Web 1.0 company that killed a ton of great Web 2.0 projects with destructive acquisitions & fumbled post-acquisition product development. Twitter's been the Web 2.0 Yahoo, killing a bunch of promising Web 3.0 concepts with their API rugpulls, botched acquisitions, & lethargic product development.
