Wish Facebook would die already, wonder when it will happen if ever?
It's already dead. It's just being amplified by
them to make it look more important than it is.
Twitter never was alive. Ther are an estimated 20 million fake accounts.
Wife and I keep saying we are going to delete it we haven't yet though, she's addicted to the buy sale pages for the area.
They've created a huge consumer ecosystem (one of the largest in the world) and will continue to innovate to both grow their user base and make that user base more loyal. It's astounding the scale of the platform and the usage statistics. And even though their growth has slowed there is still a massive oppty as "only" 30% of global internet users use the platform.
My bet is that they look for ways to get into people's lives even more than they do now. I think something like an acquisition of an online grocery platform (think Instacart) would fit the bill. Immediate access to hundreds of millions of users and something that everyone needs (groceries).
I personally can't stand the platform, but they're not going anywhere.
