Facebook needs to either reinvent itself or go back to its roots and I'm afraid that buying success stories with billions isn't going to help in that. Facebook is currently rather incapable of delivering what I originally signed up for when I joined: keeping posted about how my friends are doing, and thus having the incentive to post something about my life as well because my friends could see how I'm doing. I can't in practice control what I see and how much I see from each friend. Things happen and I don't know about them until I happen to read through my friend's timeline manually. I don't know who actually sees my posts. That makes it rather useless. The core of what Facebook used to be would be really simple to implement and most people wouldn't genuinely need much more.
