I think the better question is, who really cares? Everyone is already using Facebook for what Facebook excels at. It's like gasoline-powered cars, now. There are too many people invested in Facebook, and using Facebook, for something to come along and do the exact same thing that Facebook does, but in a different way, and expect people to just move over to it.
A Facebook killer won't come in the form of something similar to Facebook, it'll come in the form of something more time consuming and easier to waste time on than Facebook. It'll be something that lets people do something that they enjoy, and do it every hour or so with a different result. (here, i'm referencing what I think most people do in FB, and that's just browse people's pictures) It won't kill Facebook by being a better Facebook, it'll kill it by attracting people's attention elsewhere.
- keiferski 16y agoAgreed. The window of opportunity for a new social network to take the thunder of Facebook is long closed. Social networks are a bit old at this point, and as you said, Facebook is pretty entrenched.
- abhishektwr 16y agoInteresting analogy and generalization, I never thought in that way. I think that's true, people are always looking for interesting new ways to invest & waster their time. And certainly a clone of Facebook can not take on Facebook anyway.
