> Once that is in place sufficiently, homepages for small businesses will become obsolete, as people rather search for a company/product on Facebook than on the internet as it is a much easier to do. While this may or may not be true, am I the only one who is slightly frightened by the ramifications of this? Facebook is fine, for what it is, but the idea that it could soon become a proxy for the WWW isn't my idea of optimum.

It will become a proxy only for those people who allow it to. Which in general will be the older and less technically able generation who barely use the Internet other than to Facebook anyway. It certainly isn't going to replace Google and as usual with social media sites the kids will be looking to get away from the sites their parents use.
