Didn't deliver on destroying Facebook though, which was (generally) what backers (half-heartedly) hoped for.

Not saying they didn't succeed, just that there are similar lessons about expectations there.

Destroying Facebook was never what they promised. They promised an alternative. What they delivered was in line with the amount of funding they received.
