Facebook has just posted another impressive quarterly result , and that comes on the back of relentless innovation in their consumer facing and advertising products. Bots running on Messenger make the headlines, but the speed and regularity with which they release new services to help advertisers target better is breathtaking.

Fast forward to today and the same refrain remains.
