Zoom fastcompany: Why Messaging Could Be Mobile’s Killer App Could the next big platform fit inside a messaging app?  Facebook’s new Android integration, Home, groups Instagram, maps, email, and other apps in one drawer.

Instead, it is tapping into outside sources of data to learn even more about them — and to sell ads that are more finely targeted to them. Facebook says that this way, marketers will be able to reach the right audience for the right products, and consumers will see advertisements that are, as the company calls it, “relevant” to them.
