They do the one thing really well, but it's going to go out of style at some point as these things tend to - and I'm not sure I believe they have enough other projects going on to overcome that.
I could be wrong, for sure.

To counter my own point, there's also MySpace, Path, YikYak and Google+. However, I imagine that Snapchat has surpassed the "terminal velocity" in user growth/size to a point where I don't think its going anywhere anytime soon.

Even if you're not "on" Facebook, people you know will establish a presence for you in Facebook's data. Twitter accounts are cheap and the platform only has value as long as advertisements can run unchallenged by a large number of users.
