Interesting speculations.  (most of which I don't agree with).  The article emphasizes 'mobile' - and suggests that Google and Facebook didn't jump fast enough or hard enough on the mobile platform.  The authors suggests that 'mobile' is the new 'hot item'.

The article notes:

Web 1.0 and 2.0 companies still seem unsure how to adapt to this new paradigm. Facebook is the triumphant winner of social companies. It will go public in a few weeks and probably hit $140 billion in market capitalization. Yet, it loses money in mobile and has rather simple iPhone and iPad versions of its desktop experience. It is just trying to figure out how to make money on the web – as it only had $3.7 billion in revenues in 2011 and its revenues actually decelerated in Q1 of this year relative to Q4 of last year. It has no idea how it will make money in mobile.

So ... Facebook doesn't know how to make money -and doesn't know how to do mobile apps.
Interesting concept - I think they (Facebook and Google) will figure out 'why' soon enough!!!
