While Google is not going to become obsolete overnight, the trend is now distinctly movingaway from Google's area of domination and toward the social media marketplace. Products like Facebook are emerging as platforms which can displace your need for a web site (why build a web site when all you need is on their platform?) or even email. Their referral networks have the ability to be more powerful than a generic web search when you seek information. And by tying you together with others like you, they can probably move you to products and buying locations you really want faster than a keyword Google-style search.
