The chart Wired provides is nice, but doesn't really tell the full story. It doesn't tell the story they're writing, and it doesn't give enough information to really work out what's going on. Looking at that chart, I do not see an increase in direct services traffic, such as the facebook apps they mention in the articles. I see an increase in Video traffic, specifically, eating up the other services. This is not the same thing. We need more information, anyway: is this video direct streaming? Is it video accessed over web sites like youtube? If the latter is the case, does it really count as a separate category? Why put services and types of content on the same graph, anyway? It also doesn't tell the whole story. I'd like to see a similar chart of total data transfer. Obviously the total amount of Internet data transfer has skyrocketed over the same period, and we already know the way the proportions work out... But for all we know, web usage is growing in absolute terms. Maybe it's not growing as fast as video-specific web traffic, but it's still growing. Besides, technology to effectively store and transmit video in place in websites is relatively new. It should be no surprise that it's piece of the Internet pie is still growing! Overall; kind of bullshit. I like the idea that non-http services are taking over the Internet, but the numbers Wired presents don't validate that one way or the other.
