Has there been any effort to objectively measure the supposed centralization of the web over time? Although I've no doubt it is happening, the article doesn't seem to provide any hard evidence for the claim. Interesting to think about how to do it, e.g. you could measure clustering in the global page rank graphs over time, but that wouldn't incorporate info about Facebook etc.
