It's fascinating to see some apps…

It's fascinating to see some apps by Google / Facebook that are mediocre which have millions of users yet smaller apps by independent developers have to hustle, have an awesome product, and a great website, yet only have say 500k or 1M...

Really goes to show you how much of an unfair advantage the Big Three have when launching new apps.

... at least in many situations - and assuming you're not Google+ ....

      There's really no shortage of examples.

      Google Keep vs the dozen of other todo tracking apps which are far better yet Google Keep has like 10M users...

        Well, to be fair, Keep is pretty good. One of Google's best apps, I think.

    Probably what Facebook faced when Friendster was king of the hill. 😂
