They basically tried this with the google + integration . But that was its own mess also

If they had not disrupted any users with the integration and turn people off of G+ they could have pulled it off. I guess they'll try again in 15 years.

I'm starting to suspect social may have burned over. At least in pesent incarnations.

"Burned over" in the sense of zero growth - everyone who wants a FaceSnapGram account has one.

Not burned out in terms of profit opportunities though - FB has $60bn revenue, capturing even 10% of that pie can justify an investment of thousands of person-years...
