Mike Walsh, Asia’s Leading Futurist Predicts the Future of Facebook

Asia’s leading futurist, Mike Walsh, predicts the future of Facebook:

Facebook is currently trying to grow through ubiquity, notes Mike Walsh, author of Futuretainment and CEO of Tomorrow, an “innovation research lab.” Facebook wants to become the main way that communicate, entertain ourselves, learn stuff, and connect with people. And if Facebook succeeds, then it’ll subsume the Web. But if Facebook really wants to last decades rather than years, it should go the opposite direction: “They should open up their APIs and focus on being the world’s wholesale social graph platform and allow other players to innovate on the consumer front end.”
