Incidentally, whatever it is, buy.

@paulg so far, they've been pretty good about trying to buy whatever they're trying to copy. Failed with Snapchat, but definitely tried. -
@tommyrva Different kind of copying. I'm talking about copying something stupidly far from your center of gravity because it is hot. -
@paulg gotcha. I think Facebook for Work would qualify if they were putting lots of resources into it https://www.facebook.com/help/work

@paulg Only the failures look like wasted time! Microsoft also wasted time copying Netscape, 1-2-3. Google, iOS and Yahoo Mail. -
@patrickc By "wasted time" I mean copying stuff stupidly far from your center of gravity, simply because it's the hot new thing. -
@patrickc Such efforts tend to fail. But it is not failing that makes them stupid, but the other way around. -
@paulg Interesting; I think I disagree. Aren't smartphones as far -- or even further -- from search as social networks are? -
@patrickc Google bought Android to protect search against another company dominating the next wave of clients. -
@patrickc (Oddly enough the company they were worried about was Microsoft.) - 1 more reply
