How many people used AIM at its peak? How many use it now vs. Skype / GTalk / etc.? Watching the shifting sands of Friendster / Orkut / MySpace / Facebook has made me believe that Facebook's hold on its currently vast user-base will always be tenuous. It will never be entirely irrelevant (same can be said for AOL) but has no guarantee that it will continue to dominate.
