Not a very good article. The author implies that there will be a mass migration of users to another service if Facebook remains stagnant in terms of carrying out acquisitions. But Facebook continues to improve and update the user experience, so there is little incentive for users to move to a would-be competitor. Not when they already have connections with family members, close friends, and many others. Facebook has very much become a part of many users daily lives like using the Internet, and users have already invested a lot into Facebook; it's like a sunk cost. FB may remain static (in the same niche market) if they don't carry out more acquisitions, but that's (may be) fine. They can't be "doomed" just because other companies are carrying out more acquisitions.
