Microsoft wasted time trying to copy Google. Google wasted time trying to copy Facebook. What will Facebook waste time copying?

@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
