What annoys me the most is that they have the right ideas (Waves, Helpouts), but they lack conviction. The most ridicoulous example is when they introduced wireless charging, then removed it, and then added it back when Apple finally added it themselves.

They also sometimes lack imaginations, namely cancelling Reader instead of morphing it into some sort of G+. That plus AMP would have given FB a run for their money.



Reader + YouTube + Wave === (possible) FB Killer.

Maybe it's because their goto is analytics and "how can monetize this?" instead of "what do users want? what do they need?"

Both of these had a sizable user-base that would have been leveraged, as opposed to G+ starting from zero.
