Well, Facebook could be seen as the next AOL, or Friendster, or MySpace.

And Google could be seen as the next Altavista, Lycos, Excite, etc.

Android itself could be seen as a copy of iOS (released a year after the iPhone redesigned to match it) , and it has eaten into its' market (and into the general untapped smartphone market).

So I wouldn't say he haven't seen that "next" stuff happening.

Doesn't have to be 100% the same to be next -- just to cater to the same market and needs.
