Okay, it's been a fun experiment. We said lots of things, shared tons more, but that's a wrap. Everybody out of the social media pool. C'mon, c'mon, we haven't got all day. It's time to go back to the regular old Web, you know, where you saw only what we let you.

Said no one. Ever.

What might be said, some time later?

Well not if people have anything to say about it, that's for sure. The denizens of the Web love their social sharing, their status updates, and their meaningless badges for things as trivial as checking in. If it were up to any of them, social media would stay forever and only continue to evolve.

But that's the kicker. It's not up to them, or even us.
