Since the 2000's, I have been a fan of three products: Apple, Photoshop and Facebook.
I followed with great interest their evolution for the last 20 years and I was particularly interested by the announcement of Metaverse by Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, Metaverse is a kind of Second Life, version 2021.
Will Mark Zuckerberg win his bet?
-If we look at Apple, the company has conquered the market by offering a product (hardware) that is always fashionable and very efficient operating programs that are always more advanced.
-Photoshop has focused on photography by offering a system that is always beyond the technology of the moment and by continuously adding value to its subscriptions. In addition, their product is flawlessly efficient.
-Facebook has made its mark by making acquisitions like Instagram and several other companies that complement its core platform.
It's surprising that Facebook didn't acquire Second Life, because then it would have gotten all of its experience since its inception in June 2003. Second Life has been losing popularity since 2017 in terms of traffic, but it has a solid technological base. This is the element that worries me about Metaverse's success.
Mark Zuckerberg wants to reinvent Second Life rather than integrate it as he has successfully done with his other projects since 2004.
Facebook's traffic, combined with Second Life's technology, would have been a very powerful formula to conquer the market.
We will have to see what happens next, but one thing is certain, the virtual world is a reality that will influence the future of all our humanity.
It remains to be seen who will be the leader and the master.
To be continued.
