People that keep comparing FB to Myspace simply don't understand scale.

Having 2 billion users is not a 1000x better than having 2 million ones. It's more like a million times. The network effect compounds non-linearly.

Facebook (the company) is here to stay. Even if the product is gone, they own 2 other multibillion dollar social networks: Instagram and WhatsApp.

FB is on a whole different level in terms of revenue (and profitability) and users.

While it may be possible that FB fails, there’s not a whole lot of symptoms apparent that it will, unlike MySpace.
