Facebook Inc (FB) Is Playing a Perpetual Game of Catch-Up

Page 2 of 2

Facebook is doing everything in its power to create a platform where users never have to leave. Graph Search, Home, Instagram, hashtags, the new Reader project — these are all efforts to create that platform. And it’s probably the right move lest the connector of all things connectable go the way of something like MySpace. But the problem as I see it today is that Facebook is playing a game of catch-up with the likes of Google and Twitter, among others. It isn’t innovating; it’s reacting. And that’s a problem. For users and investors.
