I agree with there being a new Facebook. If you look at Internet companies, after about the 7-8 year mark, they either rebuild, rebrand, and get better...or someone else comes along and makes a better mouse trap.

Although I use Facebook extensively, I do see where someone could come in and make a better one. The only thing is we have never seen something with the tentacles that Facebook & twitter have. Go to almost any page on the Internet and I can guarantee you'll see a "share" button. Did MySpace have that? I mean 1 out of every 12 people on the planet uses Facebook.

I am not tying to pessimistic, and I hope someone will take them off their high horse, but how will a service displace something that has over 1 billion active users? Maybe that just adds to the point that it is past their prime. Humans like the latest, greatest, shiniest this and that...so maybe everyone is ready to move on.

Hopefully multiple services will displace Facebook. Facebook's 1 billion+ users use Facebook in so many different ways. I don't want to share a service with the "friends" who simply want to send me game invitations, show me the dinner they just cooked. . .or fight in public.
