Foolishly wrong about Google. Aside from G+, Google continues to do crazy new things--even if one is skeptical of Glass, one can't deny it's interesting.
And something like Facebook, with its artificially inflated value, cannot expand to advertise to everyone; it can only crash when its optimism runs out. He gets it right: it's only a place for sharing photos and links. We don't need Facebook for that, and we'll figure that out pretty soon.
- onedev 13y agoSaying Facebook is just a place for sharing photos and links is like saying Google.com is just a place for looking up links. You can understate it as much as you want but at the end of the day Facebook connects PEOPLE. Technology, whether it be Google, Facebook, or Apple, is about people and it seems to me you haven't figured that out yet.
- redwood 13y agoFb's user experience has waned on a number of fronts... users of the site feel the change and are losing interest.
- onedev 13y agoEvery single point of hard data and evidence says otherwise. Facebook, in the past year, has increased every single metric of success; whether it be the amount of money it makes, the number of advertisers on the site, the number of users on the site, or the level of engagement from all age ranges. Every single metric has increased in all countries. If you're getting your data and information from sensationalist articles which get thousands of hits just for mentioning Facebook, then you should look elsewhere to form a more accurate assessment.
- redwood 13y agoAverage user engagement (for users who were on the site last year) is higher this year? Really?
- Helianthus 13y agoUh huh. Facebook connects PEOPLE by giving them a place to share photos and links. Butchers, restaurants, and NASA are all about PEOPLE but that doesn't mean you're saying anything useful.
- onedev 13y agoI think you missed my point.
- Helianthus 13y agoI think you didn't make one.
