Facebook and Google own social media, yet neither have a great app to their name.

    How is it that Facebook and Google have two of the largest social networks on the planet, yet the worst app experiences in the industry?

    @chartier complacency?

    @chartier because they have always been web companies focused on browser based solutions first. Mobile is a thing that happened, not planned

    @chartier Because - wrongly - I don't think either really care about apps.

    @chartier Google because they accidentally had a good search UI and now have inertia, Facebook for the same reason with social networks.

    @chartier because they don't care about their users. They just wanna have a lot of them (and their information?)

    @chartier Facebook and Google are both advertising companies not product companies. The skills and values you need aren't the same for apps.

    @chartier because they both hate apps
