@paulg @wadhwa Facebook's core problem is that they never *really* cared about anyone or anything except Facebook. It is far more narcissism than malice though, and there have been some positive changes at FB for sure.

@paulg @wadhwa I don't think that is what is being said. It's like promoting someone at a small startup to be a CEO of a vastly larger company; some people can grow into the greater responsibility (and different requirements of the job), and some can't, or won't.

@davidlee He's not correct; Facebook makes you feel awful, Instagram is the lighter, airier picture-based alternative. Instagram is winning, in the sense that it is literally replacing Facebook for younger folks.
