Facebook and Twitter, what next?

I read today that Facebook and Twitter growth has stalled, what does that mean for them?

Personally, I think that if it’s not growing then it more than likely will start declining because without growth to cover churn then that churn will start eating away at the active user base.

Have they had their day? I don’t know, perhaps the fad is coming to a close but I don’t think that it will be the end of either, I think once the active user base starts dropping it will level out at a core basis that will still be very high but it won’t be at the high we currently see.

Whether that will be enough to sustain them is hard to say as twitter aren’t monetising their user base at all and facebook still loses money each month. It depends how long it will be before the VCs get bored I suppose.
