Researchers say Facebook may sweep out as a Disease

Now that's a  statement - "Facebook may fade out as Disease"

Facebook may fade out like a disease: ResearchersThe US researchers are saying that Facebook is like an infectioius disease, experiencing a spike before its decline, claiming that the social networking site may lose it's 80% users by the year 2017. 
From the Princeton University, two doctoral candidates  in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering published their boggling claims in an online paper at a scientific research archive. Yet the publishings haven't been peer previewed.  

The two Josh Spechler and John Cannarella are saying that Facebook, the social giant in the History, may become a history, fading out like a disease.  "Ideas, like diseases, have been shown to spread infectiously between people before eventually dying out, and have been successfully described with epidemiological models," they wrote.

They applied a modified epidemiological model to describe the dynamics of user activity of online social networks, using Google data that is publicly available.

It will make uncomfortable reading for the social media giant co-founded by Mark Zuckerberg, which has more than 1.1 billion users around the globe and turns 10 years old next month.

Well, lets hope, that the prophecy may not be true, or I will have to add a RIP label instead of Facebook.....
