I agree, data-portability and privacy concerns are going to be the greatest hurdles 'social media' services like Facebook will have to overcome. They are in testy waters. Before it appeared like an innocent and fun tool. But now even the most naive users are realizing that they are openly giving up all of their information to a large corporation, and willingly. I honestly see this as the great realization that there are strings attached with these types of services, and to plan accordingly when using them. Thanks Alex.

Very true as well - the general adoption and reliance now on the news feed is a definite indication that people were ok with the concept but just needed to be eased into it. We’re Millennials we’ll disclose our life story and then some given the chance. You just have to ease us into it and bypass the old privacy red alert. Though I have to say the big issue probably resulting in their recent number decrease is tied more to applications and their privacy issues than anything two things I don’t necessarily see changing and becoming more acceptable eg. The way of the news feed. I remember this one – a great note for sure.
