Honest question: How can Facebook compete with Apple?
- div 15y agoI have the same question. I don't see buying Twitter as being very useful to Apple. Just because Apple, Google and Facebook are 3 of the largest tech giants at the moment doesn't mean they directly compete. What's more, if the assumption is that Apple isn't very good at social, then the only thing they achieve by acquiring Twitter is to suddenly make themselves a straight competitor in a field where they have little expertise. I don't see it making sense, but maybe I'm just being shortsighted :)
- TheCondor 15y agoSeems their expertise is being measured by ping and the fact that it's not fb sized or twitter sized. How does twitter fit with their products and strategy? It just seems sort of expensive when they can partner with those companies and have most of the same benefits
- funkah 15y agoSupposedly they are working on a phone product of their own. Maybe that is what the author meant, but still I think they are playing at different games. Tech pundits just say shit, you know how it is.
