Interesting, I wonder if in trying to replicate real world social networks, digital social networks are bound to replicate the brith and death cycle. In that sense, being the "town square" (e.g. Twitter) is a better bet than being the place where you meet your friends. Unless you are able to continuously create the new space where the young meet. But, historically, that does not seem to be the case.
