Do you really think facebook is there to stay? What is its life expectancy, 10 years?
- TillE 14y agoExactly. Facebook fills a certain need reasonably well at the moment, and it's massive because of the network effect. But I have no difficulty imagining much better things arriving in the next 5-10 years. Same deal with Twitter. All the successful "social" stuff captures and defines how we're using technology now, but that changes very quickly.
- aswanson 14y agoI give bookface about 5 years. I deleted my account last year, as have many of the tech saavy people I know. Looking at current feeds when my friends and family log in, I see nothing but spam and ads. Not quite sure what will replace it, but signs clearly point toward a replacement.
