> The good thing is that people can still share cool things via snapchat, fbook and their future replacements. The need for google is not the same as it once was.
These platforms are also overrun with spam and users are rapidly becoming disinterested in them, too.
Considering that, which is why I said "and their future replacements"
Hopefully someone makes a new fbook that allows people to choose their own level of filtering / moderation / censoring. And actually gives you the chronological feed of stuff from your friends and family instead of trying to space out the stuff you want with stuff you don't and more ads.
Snapchat could stay the way it was, prioritize friends added instead of distant friends, keep the ads minimal and probably keep usage for a long time.
I still believe people needed yahoo and google more some years ago. These days more people are getting most of their online content directly from facebook (which I abhor by the way) - but I'm pretty sure that's true.
If that is true and google is giving instant answers without the need to click over to a result, it seems that it is also true that users and webmasters don't have the same need for google as they once did. Unless fbook goes offline, I don't see that reversing anytime soon.
