While I don't feel Facebook is doomed, this article really lacks meaningful content.
"And, if it can leverage the physical goods loophole on iOS, it can become the social shopping platform.
So buh bye lame “Social stories” and buh bye Amazon (which currently has a $100b market cap, around twice that of Facebook)."
Really, Facebook's save is social shopping... and that would upend Amazon?
- mtgx 14y agoSounds like a pie in the sky theory, like the one that floated around a few years ago that Facebook only needs to introduce search, and it could kill Google.
- majani 14y agoTime's clearly up for selling investors on the future of Facebook. Investors want to see results now on these tech companies.
- ljd 14y agoI'm also a bit confused by their statements about Facebook v Amazon. I think it stems from people thinking Amazon is the same old ecommerce shop it used to be in 2000. I doubt Facebook will get into the SVOD, publishing, mobile device and supply chain business that Amazon is in because Facebook decides to build a wishlist app.
- Jaigus 14y ago>While I don't feel Facebook is doomed, this article really lacks meaningful content. But look at the site its coming from. Most of what they pump out is hyperbole about ycombinator(or some other VC pal of theirs) companies, lacking meaningful content, and it seems they write about their every move, no matter how trivial, from the company's start to end. I remember an article published about Kevin Rose saying he'd "shoot" bad ideas in the head. An entire article, just to tell everyone he wouldn't waste time on bad ideas.
