And then the kids will move on to the next thing. Hopefully, for the sake of their investors, that happens after they've been acquired for a billion. Rinse, rep

Didn't people say the same about instagram and twitter? There are services that have the ability to stick around.

  I've read teens are slowly moving away from facebook to Twitter & Instagram. Probably because it has less drama. It is more about narcissism without needing to reply to anybody.

    Oh you read it? I'm glad you read :) However, note that everything you read is not necessarily true. Unless you have HARD DATA, whatever you read may very well be made up.

      just following the format of who I was responding to sherlock. "Didn't people say"

  We'll never truly know if instagram could've stuck around had it not been acquired. Twitter is an indispensable communications medium that has more than 1 use case (read news, talk to friends, overthrow a government, etc). Thus ads makes sense (and I would even pay a low, yearly fee to keep it around). Snapchat is interesting, but $100 million interesting?

    Non-tech people probably say the same thing about GitHub...

      Github has a proven business model.
