> any company with tons of money is going to build some stuff thats innovative by virtue of hiring people completely irrelevant to its core product.
So by your own goalposts, they DID release innovations then?
> FB is a social networking and ads company and it was not particularly innovative at that.
I wonder what those psychologists and engineers who worked on the Like button with the team who built the AI that is used from that, to Ads and the social graph would say about the billions of dollars and stock value that it has made for Facebook.
Again, you set those exceeding low goalposts for your point. If not even that is an example of an innovation relevant to Facebook's business and made it billions of dollars, then perhaps nothing is.
