"dominant social ecosystem"? "essential tool"?
Sounds a little exaggerated to me.
Ever since personal computers became affordable and easy to use we heard all sorts of predictions for all sorts of things--that never came about.
200 million users sounds impressive--2/3 of the US population--until I read that that was world wide. World wide that is not an impressive number.Now maybe down the road in the future it will have as many users as people have telephones or TV sets.
Until then, I wish these articles would hold back on the hyperbole.
***** Moderator's Note *****One of the comedians who appear on the TV show Saturday Night Live summed it up very well in a bit about local television:
"The thing you were scared of at Noon is now twice as scary! Film at Eleven!!"
