It took Facebook and Google a while to nail their advertising strategies. FB shares dropped down from an IPO price of $38 to less than $20 at one point. Its a very competitive climate and Snapchat needs to keep innovating, but I wouldn'

This is spot on. I've been vegetarian for a long time. I have seen a drastic change in the availability of vegetarian options at restaurants and grocery stores. It makes it easier for someone who isn't vegetarian to choose to have

Not black market ads. For example someone pays a group of people to review a product they are selling. Basically Amazon is competing with ‘black market’ techniques. A seller can now just pay Amazon to have their product at the top.

WhatsApp and Instagram were innovative but were acquired. The only reason Instagram isn’t a $100B company in its own right is because Facebook had a better vision for it than investors. If Instagram were able to raise at a $5B valuation rat

Google home doesn’t work 50% of the time in English; how are they going to get other languages working reliably? It’s a good start but typical Google: try to release a hardware product with half-baked tech.

Maybe they hadn’t worked in that area recently. If you work on a large software application your focus might be very narrow. It’s like saying you don’t know what 13 times 14 is off the top of your head so you aren’t good at maths.
