Your assertion is patently ridiculous.

Remove Facebook, add WhatsApp. https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F0glpjll%2C%20%2Fm%2F0h3tm0f%2C%20%2Fm%2F0289n8t%2C%20%2Fm%2F0gwzvs1&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT-2 https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F0glpjll%2C%20... Both Instagram and WhatsApp belong to Facebook.

Even by your chart, FB is still much higher than the other networks.

How is it not still king? Your link clearly shows Facebook is still way ahead of any competitors.

This is based on Google searches. How many users are getting to an app on their phone via a Google search?

I dont't search for facebook. Its hardwired into my brain. I would like to think FB has had its day. But globally, and for different age groups, its probably just begun. - Even if it is declining in meaning for the t(w)eens and generally those over-exposed to it. I cant see any of it developing any further, augmented style or by making it business relevant - these things aren't anywhere as powerful as its basic concept. It is often easier than email to use, so perhaps their is some mileage in a startup that takes a new angle on email - rather than snapchat being the obvious 'next thing'. Its also kinda cool as a news feed of interesting memes, but once again - this could be done better. FB was always contrary to the ideals of the internet, but thats why people like it; FB imposes a protocol of communication, unlike myspace which was all about being an individual expressing yourself - people seem to like a forced top down order to expression.. (twitter being the ultimate useless expression of this) If FB wants you to log in, its probabaly because everyone on FB prefers it that way. of course, usually everyone is wrong. I would liken FB to the roman empire, it doesnt have any one big downfall, just a gradual decline exploited by various factions of smaller powers. For the internet, the joy of all of this, is that in the end, freedom, choice, and exchange of information win out. right? right??
