Facebook Mocks 'Infection' Study, Predicts Princeton's Demise 193
Okian Warrior writes "In a followup to the earlier story about Princeton researchers predicting the end of Facebook by 2017, Facebook has struck back with a post using similar statistical techniques to predict that Princeton itself may be facing irreversible decline. By using similar methods ('likes', mentions in scholarly papers, Google searches) Facebook has created graphs that indicate Princeton is losing ground compared with its rivals and may have no students at all by 2021."

The best part of Facebook's article is where they use identical research methodology to prove that there will be no air left by 2060.

Facebook has used the same techniques as Princeton, and as such we can conclude that they approve of these techniques, and find them useful analytical instruments.
The only conclusion we can draw from this is the demise of both Princeton and Facebook.
