Good on these folks for making something awesome!
I.E. limited and overpriced selections of mixed quality. I don't know that it gives me the precision and control I want with gift selection...
I would expect that success of FaceBook would be always defined by the core FaceBook product - social network, not by acquisitions.
You seem angry.
I guess Facebook is going to make a bit to consolidate as many services as possible into their social network. I wonder how that's going to impact usability.
I had never heard of Glancee or Karma (among many others) before I read the news that they had both been acquired by Facebook.
I don't imagine it's easy to integrate something into core Facebook than essentially just being a part of the product that uses the API - which can just be done by being an independent entity?
People spend a LOT of money on gifts.
And congrats again Ben, Lee, and the whole Karma team. They're going to do great things with the resources of FB.
