Facebook Evolves from Social Network to Social Ecosystem | LinkedIn

From an f8 2014 summary by Brian Solis (perhaps, when Facebook is done evolving into a social ecosystem, he'll opt to share such perspectives on Facebook rather than LinkedIn)

"The theme of f8 and also Facebook’s intentionally limited vision at the conference focused on three pillars…

1) Build

2) Grow

3) Monetize

The goal was to help developers expedite time to market, amplify visibility in the app world, optimize user experience and increase the value of their apps by plugging into the Facebook ecosystem. And by leveraging (still not used to using this word as a verb) Parse, a mobile app development platform acquired by Facebook in 2013, developers will have an unprecedented springboard toward market acceleration and consumer prevalence."
