Facebook Dating announced, promptly causes Match.com's stock to plummet

-
...

Facebook's annual F8 developer event kicked off today, and the company had a number of pretty big announcements. Among them was news of plans to build a dating platform directly into its mobile apps—news investors in Match Group, the owner of a whole lot of online dating services including Tinder and Match.com, didn't take very well. As of this writing, the company's stock is down more than 20 percent.

MTCH took a pretty sizable hit today.

In addition to Tinder and Match.com, Match Group owns OkCupid and PlentyOfFish. A precipitous drop can be seen in Match's price chart beginning at 1:20 p.m., Eastern, right around the time of Facebook's announcement. The drop slowed about 20 minutes later, but the price has continued to fall, albeit more slowly.

Facebook Dating profiles will be separate from regular Facebook profiles, and dating activity won't be shown to Facebook friends. Potential matches will be recommended based on a number of factors, including mutual friends on the social network. The service is still a while out; testing is set to begin "later this year."

Who blinked first in Waymo v. Uber?

Waymo and Uber has reached a settlement in their self-driving car case. The announcement came as a big shock, even though I wrote yesterday that Waymo's case was looking oddly weak . Parties are free to settle in the middle of trial (heck, they can settle while the jury is considering a verdict, and they can settle even after the verdict is out) but it's pretty rare. For one thing, it's hard to think about negotiating when you're busy prepping for trial the next day. For another thing, if you were going to settle, you probably should have done it before. It's pretty messy to call off the boxing match in the middle of the third round. Taking any case to trial — let alone such a high-profile case — is messy and exorbitantly expensive, and on top of that, jury verdicts are unpredictable. Sure, by settling now, Uber and Waymo manage to avoid rolling the dice with the jury. But they still spent what was likely millions and millions of dollars on their top-billi...
