Today someone said something which still has me reeling hours later: “Facebook will eventually replace websites.&# Was this person the first to ever have said it? Surely not.

Tweet The other night I were browsing through my following feed on Tweetdeck, looking for interesting news – a fun tweet caught my eye….
