Oh dear. Less than a year.

This is what happens when businesses follow and chase short-term hype cycles and end up wasting time and money in the end. The return on investment of this acquired startup is exactly $0.

Facebook on the other hand with the Instagram acquisition gave returns into the tens of billions of dollars.

Say what you will about Facebook, but its acquisition strategy has generally been strong.

Instagram has to be an all-time steal for what they paid for it. They also own What's App, a juggernaut in its own right.

Facebook's acquisition of Oculus was reasonable. It does remain to be seen if they can truly harness it or not.
