Some weird thing about Facebook is it now is basically the default web page for a LOT of small businesses. If you nuked Facebook, you'd nuke the webpages of millions of small businesses.

...not that you'd miss much, as they're usually spartan, but it's worth mentioning.

It's kind of annoying, because an actual webpage is much better IMO, but it is what it is.

The business listing side of Facebook should be broken off as a separate business.

Marketplace is basically a Craigslist competitor, taking advantage of their place on Facebook’s platform. I wouldn’t miss it if it were broken off (I’ve got a soft spot for Craigslist).
