No Facebook by 2020? That’s how one analyst sees it, comparing the next few years for the social network to the past few years for Yahoo.

Ironfire Capital founder Eric Jackson appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” Monday, and Mashable reported his comments on Facebook:

In five to eight years, (Facebook is) going to disappear in the way that Yahoo has disappeared. Yahoo is still making money, it’s still profitable, it still has 13,000 employees working for it, but it’s 10 percent of the value that it was at the height of 2000.
