DID YOU KNOW?
Facebook knows what millions of people do on their phones, even if they don’t actually use the social network, a new report claims.
The company is claimed to have been using data gathered from another firm for detailed insights on people’s app and website usage habits, such as which apps they use, how frequently they use them and even how long they use them for.
This information has also been used to shape Facebook’s product roadmap, and led to it buying WhatsApp and continuing to rip Snapchat’s Stories feature.

Ok let me blow your mind a bit....
The trend facebook has been following is to typically study the modus operandi of any business that may be in competition with them for market shares, and when they see a threat in those businesses's operations to their market dominance, they either buy up such businesses (whatsapp, instagram) or they replicate that business's strategy into their own (snapchat), therefore making it pointless for a paradigm shift from facebook to any of such competing platforms....
It would seem that as steemit's success stories continue to spread, facebook is already calculating the threat of steemit to its market dominance, and is already setting plans in place to enable earning incentives on their platform, for basic functions such as like, follow, post and comment, just like steemit...
(i personally dont think they can buy up steemit, so only option left is replicate steemit's social earning success)
Imagine a facebook where you can now earn money while socializing....
will steemit be able to withstand that kind of heat???
Lets deliberate....
steem on: power up!
