I think we're seeing it become more relevant as they've grown decoupled from people being On Facebook and into other services. I agree that apps and such are little blips in the overall picture, but the amount of social news (and tbh, noise) I get via integrated social networks is staggering - I can only imagine moreso for people ten years younger than me. I find statements of many of these things being obsolete to be hard to grasp for me, as I think we have the benefit of living on the edge of things and ~should~ be looking beyond. Despite this, I think it's forgetting where the rest of the online population, and the yet-to-be-online population lives.
