Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The summary points suggest that Facebook has a first-mover advantage, as it has already established itself as a market leader and is quickly gaining brand loyalty among its users. However, it also faces the risk of high costs associated with creating and marketing new products in order to maintain its position as an industry leader. These factors indicate that Facebook's products are not cash cows or question marks, and do not necessarily suggest a superior marketing strategy or late-mover advantage.
