The Google is doomed talk is as crazy as the Microsoft is doomed talk.
But honestly, I think you are missing the big picture. Search and social are no longer seen as two separate markets. If Google lags or fails are social, it could suffer in search. Much of the content which needs to be indexed (which is to say that people are looking for) is found in social networks, be that Twitter or Facebook.
On top of that, your account is 14 days old. Whining about reading "the same shit over and over every day on hackernews" is silly.
