social media...again

Social media from a different perspective...

Interesting article by the hand of Taddy Hall in Ad Age explaining Twitter's decline.

My understanding is the following: Twitter was hyping as a result of it's newness and the fact that the 'currency' is the number of followers you have. Since we now realize that followers do not mean anything, unless they really actualy do follow, number of users are going down.

If that's true for Twitter, what does that mean for Facebook. I was an 'early adopter' and used to collect friends as a proof of well, euh popularity probably. After some months of active use, I've come to realize that I don't care of what over half of these friends are doing, since they are no real friends in real life.
As a result, I stopped using Facebook to connect with my real friends and actually virtually stopped accepting invites.
Technically I am one one the 300 million users. In reality however...

Based on n = 1. Will Facebook be victim of it's success, much the way Twitter seems to have become victim of it's own hype?
