I am very surprised that there are nearly 500 comments on this item and none mentioned VR. VR is the uncharted territory of social media. Facebook has a head-start but TikTok is also investing billions and will catch up. Just as desktops are legacy, soon smartphones will be too.

I also saw no comments about this "Facebook will continue to provide old-school friends-and-family networking via a subsidiary tab. Those posts will be chronologically ordered, as some users have long wished for."

One final point is political ads being big business at FB. So it'll be interesting how are their numbers in the 4th quarter.

This is the same as saying "in 10 years we'll have flying cars". No, we won't.


It's more like how 3d televisions were going to take over.

Turns out people don't want it.


I think you are wrong. We'll know in 5 years.
