Facebook has something MySpace never had: an ecosystem. With Facebook Connect, a place to receive invites, a central place for contacts, albums, etc, a developer program, brand/fan pages, etc. it's hard to see them going away for a long long time. That said, I am not in Facebook. I would consider joining a social network if it had meaningful/interesting conversations I would want to participate in. Sort of like Hacker News, but more geared towards any general meaningful topic, not just tech. Quora is as close as it gets, but even that is too much Q&A.. I just want general chat, like Reddit except a bit more serious.
