And isn't there much more to the information economy than social media? Beyond/beside the "fluffy" stuff the hard value of some economic economy lies in both better tracking/planning at lower cost (same old but faster/cheaper) and innovative new procedures, models, etc.
Doesn't this support the argument that websites are just fleeting value. Myspace is all but forgotten now.
Facebook is about dead for American teenagers, too.
But what are you saying? That the information sector of the economy isn't viable? If that's your contention, I'd say that's mighty powerful crack you're smoking.

This is bad? Last I checked, the majority of today's teenagers bring no revenue value. MySpace died because it built its entire program around teenagers.

Good riddance.
You're kidding, right? Teenagers account for roughly $200 billion in consumer spending in this county annually. So I guess the vast web of media that cater to them, from MTV to teenybopper magazines, have no value whatsoever either.

You realize that it's just old dirty men who watch and read that crap right?
MySpace, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter continue to post 0 or lost revenue. We are not talking about future speculation and stock prices.

I wouldn't quite put it as you have, that 'websites' are of fleeting value, but I agree that social networking may be ebbing or slowing or just taking a pause, especially among teens. The web, and this includes mobile, is still growing at an impressive clip. Take a look at the year-over-year growth of ecommerce, 10-20%, depending on who's stats you read.
My kids are on Facebook but prefer Instagram for now. Most of the teens we know are on Instagram. They will tell you that Facebook is for old people.
Saying that though, Social media is finding a place in business. It is a tool like any other. You should have a facebook page for your business. You should Tweet for your business. You should have anything else that you can have to give your business an advantage.
