Not the end of social networking!
In september I wrote a blog post titled “The end of social networking“. It was quoted on a few blogs and I got a lot of, euh, feedback from people who either slightly disagreed or fanatically agreed. Anyway, the title was slightly misleading because I didn’t exactly say that I thought that all Social Networks would end.
