Social Networking sites come and go, think of Myspace, or hell, think of Bebo (does anyone remember that?), or think of the hundreds of others that have come and gone. I see facebook slowly becoming less popular over the next five or six years, they'll make too many changes and drive away the core of the community.

As with anything it'll probably take a while to die out completely. I'd say in a decade they'll be straggling.

One thing to think about though is it's such a giant at the moment, it may be hard to knock it off the top spot. It's more likely facebook will bring about it's own demise.
