I'm trying to recall what innovations Facebook has introduced since the IPO and can't think of anything except a failing skin for Androind. What am I missing?

- s3r3nity 13y agoBasic Google search: Graph Search, Site Re-design on all platforms, Newsfeed algorithm changes that increased engagement, Significant growth and mobile penetration in international markets (now over 1.1+ BILLION people) -- i.e. making it easier for people on dumb phones to access Facebook, messaging improvements and stickers (which is HUGELY popular), ...etc.etc.
- eliben 13y agoHonestly all of that doesn't sound remotely close to what I'd consider "innovation". Well, except the graph search perhaps, although I'm not sure how successful that came to be.
- s3r3nity 13y agoPerhaps -- maybe it's not Apple style crazy innovation. However I'm intrigued at tech that makes it easy for those in the developing world to access the internet and connect with others in the social graph. And when you really think about it only maybe Google and Facebook are pulling this off (maybe Twitter, though I'm bearish on their capabilities on 'dumb phones' at the moment.)
