I bet he means like "Copy stories in instagram!" by "Products". I've heard a lot of social media devs talk about features as products. I'm guessing because that's how product managers see them in those orgs.

I don't find it a very good definition. Implementing a feature is not a new product.



When north of a billion people use you Craigslist feature and your Snapchat copy feature spawns 3 business lines larger than Snapchat itself within each of your platforms, I think it's fair to call them products even if they live under existing products' umbrellas.


If Instagram stories were a company, it's revenues would put it in the top 700 of companies worldwide. That's a product.
