Out of interest woild you say the same for Google or do you think they will diversify more successfully? I think their ad/data business is more robust - I feel like it benefits me and Facebook's doesn't, but if the problem is only using ads and data that's a problem Google share.
- sparkzilla 13y agoThe problem is that, unlike Google, Facebook is screwing its users to get advertisers. When the users leave the advertisers will follow.
- msandford 13y agoGoogle has made giant piles of money that they are using to solve more and more problems re: organizing the world's information. Facebook is figuring out how to get people to upload more pictures? I guess there's Oculus and Instagram. I don't see Instagram as much more than chewing up a potential competitor. We'll see on Oculus. I am not saying that making a self-driving car or a book-scanning machine or any of that in any way guarantees that they will hit other big markets. But they're trying on a pretty grand scale. A VC who raises a fund and has some yearly burn rate for his operation will eventually go broke if he doesn't invest. Google definitely is investing. Facebook might be.
