&gt; Personally, I believe Zuckerberg is sincere in wanting to connect everyone in the world with each other.<p>Or, is he desperately trying to save his company by getting the last remaining drops of users in a rapidly diminishing market for new user base?<p>If you think about it, Facebook is not a monopoly that it used to be in the early 2000s, even comparing it Microsoft Windows (like someone did in this thread) is an erroneous exercise.<p>Windows had a kind of monopoly on PC world that perhaps no other software product in the history of computing ever had. But Facebook has tonnes of alternatives. There weren&#x27;t many when it began, but today we have Google-plus, twitter, Reddit, Hacker-news and lots of others. Granted that none of them is an exact replacement for FB, but then again, everything has its pros and cons, its a monopolistic competition anyways where each product in a competitive market is a monopoloy in itself.
