Stories was a massive success because they pivoted their massively successful app Instagram around it.

They’re never going to do that with a Twitter clone, the stakes aren’t high enough. It remains to be seen if they can actually launch a copy of another app without subsuming an existing one to do so.

Facebook Workplace is an example of a completely new product.

And it has actually been a quiet but lucrative success for the company.
