@hunterwalk - what gives you the impression that Connect/Login/identity is less attractive for devs now than 2 yrs ago?

@irvinebroque large social services such as Instagram, Snapchat don't need to reply upon it; who has ridden it to big $$$??

@hunterwalk It's a good argument for your side.

@hunterwalk Tho I didn't mean silo'd graphs won't emerge, but that they'll only pick away at FB, not usurp it as mass market identity layer

@hunterwalk what FB MUST own is any graph that's mostly a subset of friends. I'd say Instagram is, whereas Twitter's follow graph isn't

@hunterwalk standalone apps that don't produce content we share to FB could pick away at FB's engagement but I don't see em as mortal danger

@JoshConstine yes fair enough, i totally ignored deeper discussion of the "share to FB" - tried to wrap some of that in the FB connect issue

@hunterwalk Important bc if they don't sap too much engagement time (like Instagram) and they share back, they help FB techcrunch.com/2012/05/01/fac…

@hunterwalk agree with this, whole heap of standalone gaming services & messaging apps are rivalling Facebook in Asia, fascinating to watch

@hunterwalk lol, don’t think anyone has answer but fact that they’re winning on chat suggests FB Messenger is inferior (for Asian tastes)
