Very true. Just like Bing is beginning to give Google a run for their money. There will be something that will eventually make Facebook's tiniest nuances look like glaring flaws. Look at how IE is struggling against Chrome and Firefox. A few years ago Microsoft was in the comfort zone in terms of market share. Things began to stagnate. Now they are being pushed. They know they have to innovate, or face the possibility of fading away. It's not a question of what will kill Facebook. It's a question of when.

As long as the "when" is: after the investors and principals have played it through. Sure, every company gets more vulnerable as it gets bigger and markets evolve, etc. as stated here. but if you notice, NONE of the examples cited above "became vulnerable" before the liquidity event happened. I could make an exception with Apple, but that seems to be the exception not the rule. in fact, you could argue that there is a 3rd phase of a company (which Apple is in), after the liquidity event, after the company gets vulnerable (think apple 10 years ago, think yahoo now). some die - but some survive to see a new healthy dominance.
