an interesting side-effect of the social-networks mini revolution : social networking browsers

A report on RockMelt, a social-networking oriented browser caught my eyes. It is an interesting example to the impact of the competing forces operating within the information revolution, and of the extent to which entrepreneurs are seeking niches. I don't believe in the future of such specialized browsers. In my mind, the all-purpose browsers will remain dominant in the internet surfing business, just the same way the all-purpose car remained dominant in the personal transportation business. I also see this type of development as an indication that the social-networking wave has reached its peak. Don't get me wrong - the social graph is here to stay, and it is very probable that a 100 years from now, teenagers will communicate via a more advanced version of the social networks. But as far as social-networking is a dominant phenomena within the information revolution, i claim that this is the best sign for the peak of its dominance. After the wave has reached the infrastructures, it will be reduced  to more "normal" levels, as far as normality is something to be expected in a revolution....
