Predicting the end of Facebook or Google...

A few days ago there was a post on Facebook on a research done at Princeton that predicted the decline of Facebook. It turns out that 7 years ago, together with Matti Kelttanen we modelled using My Space as basis, how Facebook would evolve. The conclusion is that the the model did not correlate in time but it helped to open a
debate on the lifecycle of services like Facebook. On the Internet nothing is forever, ok, maybe Google :-) but even on search and browsers there have been many waves. Check out this beautiful representation of the evolution of the web done by Vizzualityhttp://www.vizzuality.com/.
