In the Spring of 2012 Facebook agreed to buy a small Silicon Valley startup that had a neat smartphone app that allowed people to take retro‐looking photos and share them. The startup had 13 full time employees and had started life less than two years previously. The price paid by Facebook was a cool $1bn. But perhaps the most significant development was not the price or strategic intent, but the speed of interested parties to offer anti‐Facebook consumers alternatives to its new purchase.
