Social destinations will definitely be passe

Come to think of it..

I am not so sure if the current casual net usage habits will remain in the present form or format for very long, considering the certain paradigm shift and impact from rapid mobile device adoption, and the oncoming dominance Vs. Desktops and Laptops. Just the way in which people chucked land lines for wireless, the day when mobile devices completely replace the desktops may not be that far off .This will also undoubtedly change the way we consume and use the net in fundamental ways. This will resultantly lead to the emergence of a lot of new companies that will eventually challenge the current online biggies, globally, through innovation in core products and services we already use.
