Based on our core Whiteboard technology, Desmos aims to serve as a web-based, unifying standard for interactive lessons. Professional content developers, publishers, and individual teachers alike can create and distribute vivid, effective content through our community. No longer are teachers limited by the kind of hardware they have in their classroom. They can build lessons on their computer and then use them in class on their Interactive Whiteboards, or at home from your computer, or on the go from a tablet. Accessing Desmos is as simple as opening up a browser. Not only can you build lessons, but you can work together, live, with other members of the community by inviting them to share your Whiteboards.

It happened with Google Search; it happened with Apps (yes, Apple doesn't sell ads but others do - such as coincidentally… Facebook). And now that all social media are publicly-traded company with ambitious revenue targets to reach, it will happen to social media as well.
