> #4 - "Facebook user growth and engagement on mobile devices depend upon effective operation with mobile operating systems, networks, and standards that we do not control;"

Interesting. While the other points are gloomy-doomy and a bit vague, this one lends itself to a concrete solution, doesn't it?



Does your inner MBA whisper: "Mobile is cannibalizing our core product, make it crappier"? Or what solution do you mean?

Edit: Ooh i get it.


They do have the hackers for it at the moment (and it's not like Google is trying to keep them).


I like that they point this out, but in theory this goes for the desktop as well. I guess the difference and reliability between the desktop OS/browser platform is seen as more established than the mobile platforms. This makes sense right now, but may well be something that grows over time into less of an issue.


Facebook needs Path's mobile design team. No doubt Facebook looks at an acquisition in 2012.
