Facebook Dead by 2020.

Ironfire Capital founder Eric Jackson told the CNBC show Squawk on the Street that Facebook is just like Yahoo:

“Facebook can buy a bunch of mobile companies, but they are still a big, fat website and that’s different from a mobile app.”

The best part about being a random analyst/ reporter / blogger/ commenter / twitter-er is that no one holds you accountable for all the claims, hyperbole, guesses that never come true.
He risked little to make that comment.
And he made lots of news headlines.
If you can say something controversial but short enough to be retweeted, you've got the potential to spread easily.
