The Future of Social Media

This counter might illustrate the future of what is now called "social media". Although the brand-named web apps/locations are well known, in the future we may just think of social media as we think of the web and internet today - brandless infrastructue. How would such an infrastructue work? New protocols? Probably, since http is end-to-end and will not support real time conversations on any scale.
