"I agree that Facebook isn't the company I'd look to for re-aggregation. I imagine there will be a few interesting startups in the Android home "launcher" category that attract a large audience with a less biased solution than Facebook's. The "Go Launcher EX" already has 50-100 million installs, for example... https://play.google.com/store/... I could also see a bunch of niche launchers that target specific customer segments. For example, gamers might want a launcher with basic navigation options (phone, email, texting, etc) combined with game specific features (what games my friends are playing, leaderboards, etc). News junkies might want a launcher that highlights breaking news. It's possible that one company will dominate the launcher opportunity, assuming custom launchers take off. It's also possible that it will be a fragmented market, much like the mobile app space overall."
