Facebook will remain as long as people support it. In the short history of the net we have seen sites come and go with little more reason than they simply became passe. AOL had all the makings of a facebook (every ad on TV/poster had AOL Keyword:"...") but focused on their dial-up margins. MySpace had it but failed at modern design. Geocities, TheGlobe, etc, etc, had potential to do it before that. So many sites have come and gone in a social space. And now, where FB has picked up the slack they still can't replace the numerous forums out there where people really congregate to interact with "not friends".

Eventually, I believe, FB will be passe. And whatever out there is quenching people's social interaction thirst will thrive. Yes, it will be bigger because there will be even more people hooked up to the net.
