While I accept the point, how do you explain how X amount of users are going to keep all their servers running if they want an online presence? Facebook going down, while not an impossibility is less likely than a power outage in a person's home. Geographically seperated boxes unless in some sort of hosted environment where you choose your host and they manage your servers but then you seem to not really escape facebook's grasp but rather distribute it to many servers?

"...how do you explain how X amount of users are going to keep all their servers running if they want an online presence?" They don't have to keep all of their servers running. Only one needs to be available at any given time. The management of servers could be done by the owner, the owner's friend, the owner's third cousin, the gal from Geek Squad, Aunt Millie in Burbank, Comtastic Enterprises LLC, or Arthur Higginbottom Jr.
