facebook's core offering is slowly walking towards the exit: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%2Fm%2F02y1vz.

Much of that valuable data stands to stale.

That seemed pretty convincing, but then I added some comparison terms like "instagram" and "snapchat"... they are hardly a blip. I think that argues that the world is going mobile, but then maybe google trends isn't a fair way to measure who is walking where.
