Why Facebook lasted

  • The social graph of people over 30, plus Marketplace, Groups, and WhatsApp as the actual prize.
  • It is still where local institutions go because that is where the locals are.

Why LinkedIn lasted

  • It is the resume that other people can see, and hiring still starts there.
  • Microsoft bought it and plugged it into the Office graph. Jobs is a search problem Microsoft wanted.
