The Verge: "Just think about it for a minute. Of course Facebook is the new AOL. Facebook is the beginning and the end of the internet for a huge number of normal people, a combination of primary service provider (user profiles, messaging, photo sharing) and 90s-style portal to the wider web. Facebook has its own IM platform, Messenger, just like AOL had AOL Instant Messenger. Then it went and bought WhatsApp, the messaging platform more popular internationally, just like AOL bought ICQ. Facebook groups are just AOL chat rooms; Facebook's permanently-doomed commerce plays are AOL's permanently-doomed commerce plays. (AOL's ultimate doomed ecommerce play? The acquisition of Netscape.)"
Messenger will return the Facebook mobile app thanks to Meta.
