【文章背景】

Facebook opens new aisle to revenues with shopping challenge to Amazon

脸书开启新的营收渠道，挑战亚马逊购物

背景：

脸书近日推出线上购物新功能，携26亿用户杀入电商，有力挑战亚马逊、eBay等老牌电商。扎克伯格表示，他早就有意推出此项服务，新冠肺炎流行带来的线上购物繁荣让他加速了实施计划的步伐。“脸书商店”将收集用户购物习惯等有价值的信息，以提升其广告服务的质量，也能让脸书对广告要价更高。但脸书也强调，不复制其他电商端到端的模式，会将重心放在搭建平台的提供分析、‘支付及广告工具上，并从这些服务中寻求利润增长。分析人士认为，脸书此举显示，他们的长期野心是成为像一样的超级应用，用户既可以在上面社交，也能购物和转账。
