The End of Facebook

Jul 6, 2011 9:54AM PDT

Now that Skype is being added to Facebook the giant will begin to shrink. After all it was the non facial contact that made it so popular. Facebookers will not want to see or be seen by perfect or ugly strangers. Just look at some of the pictures posted. People will start looking for the "new" Facebook startup to join and maintain their noncontact contact. Facebook is all but dead!

With Google+ in the picture, Facebook no longer has any change.

Seems to be a stumbling start at the moment for Google+. Very few 'friends' to hook up with.

Still, may be it will change.

I don't think Facebook will die that easily. Remember that it is integrated into so many website these days.

It's just a matter of
time before Facebook finally slide down and be replaced with another (Google+
anyone?).. Users are getting annoyed everyday and I have no doubt they'll dump
their accounts there quickly for G+

That's just the way it goes, internet hypes stay for a couple of years and then get replaced mercilessly. I am surprised at how long Google has stood, though.
