There's no doubt it's wealth (all information is). Keeping in contact with people is big business (cell phones, Outlook, vacations, dating sites, etc) but there just isn't a way to monetize this wealth. If it was open source or non-profit, it would be around until people got tired of it), but if Facebook doesn't get money in exchange for the wealth they've created (and soon), then that wealth will disappear and social networks in general may be branded as a bad investment. Actually, if that leads to a free and open alternative, that might not be so bad afterall.
