Here’s the thing, in my opinion; Facebook IS big and growing right now but in three years or so, it will be “old news” I think. Young(er) people are driving the technology world and market. First, Myspace was all the rave when I started using it in late 2006 or so. Well, then Facebook started to be publicized as a hit among college folks, even though FB was AWEFUL compared to Myspace at that time, in my book. I checked out FB and gave up after a half hour or so because it was so limited and sparse. Slowly (in tech time) but surely though, you wasn’t cool if you didn’t FB among that crucial teen to 30 age group and if you only Myspaced, you were not hip. FB has now, of course caught up and overtook MSpace in users and its user “friendliness” and is now all the rave. But it too will be old school in a few years I predict since some college (or even high school) age developers will come up with a new format that will repeat the same cycle. It will be crude, awkward and small but will catch on and be the “in thing” for the young crowd and before you know it, FB will be BIG and well developed and raking in money but the young upstart will be taking its users. It’s all a never ending cycle of technological “whats hot vs whats not” with no end in sight whether its social networking, applications, cell phones, etc, etc, etc.
