How long it will take for Facebook to die?

Facebook, it needs no introductions. I don't see anyone who isn't connected to it in the online world. It has become such a rage that it has swept the entire generation from the play grounds and addicted them to be online. People used to plan and meet, call to know about their wellbeing or just to have a quick chat, texted each other to talk. Everything has been taken from the real world and the experience is digitized. You still talk, message and see each other but in an alternate universe, The INTERNET.

Charles Darwin once said “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”

Till Now, there is one thing that Facebook is doing successfully. They have been constantly adapting to the new challenges that the Internet is throwing at them for survival. The total number of companies is about 46. The first thing that they did was their IPO. With a huge amount of funds at disposal they have been acquiring companies. They make offers that are hard to turn down. Take for example whatsapp, $19 billion is a staggering number to pay for a mobile application service. Similarly, Instagram and there are several others which is making Facebook a fig fat happy family. Seemingly indestructible too.

Now, to the important questions:

Would there be a day that Facebook takes a false step and that will mark the downfall of its popularity.

If you play a game the outcome of it will be decided on the moves that you make. There was a big question on facebook’s  survival when they started to amend the security features.  A couple more in quick succession will surely mark down its likability.

Time and again there are occasions when you see fake profiles and that is a big turn off. One of the major factors that will lead to 

How long they can survive with their marketing strategies and financial planning?

 The IPO is already out and there will be a day when the popularity will decrease and lesser people will invest. At that point, will they have enough to propel another purchase of $billion+. Till when they expect the funds to pour in via advertisements.

And most importantly when will it Die?

Life is a chance but death is sure. Some die as an infant and some make records of longevity. Recently, Orkut has died and similarly, there are others on the way down and it will also go down. It remains to be seen when it will happen. There would be another growing platform taking Facebook to the cleaners.

Having blabbed all this. We are still in the present and we are possessed by the Likes, comments and the color Blue.
