I agree almost entirely. Google's strategy seems to be to lower transaction costs of participating (in this case, integrating their extensive existing services under one login and making data completely portable). But FB has locked up considerable value, and I think people will continue to find the transaction costs worth it for a while longer.
My second book, Network, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2008.
My third book, Topsight, was published in 2013. The second edition, Topsight 2.0, was published by Urso Press in 2018, and is available in print and Kindle versions.
My fourth book, All Edge, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2015.

Whenever I hear the phrase "player A is player B killer," the killing never happens. Also a similar metaphor; stopper, stopping never happens either.
The reason for Facebook's possible decline in the future is people's interest in the social network, not Google.
