No, not really. Remember what happened to MySpace? Sometimes people just move on to the next thing. Yes, the network effect is pretty strong for FB, but it has been done before.
- brianchu 14y agoI find that "the network effect is pretty strong" is an understatement. Facebook is not just a social network, it's a pervasive platform. Not to mention that FB and Myspace were fairly different (Myspace accounts were a mess), and right now G+ seems to largely be a FB clone.
- ashray 14y agoI think myspace got pretty annoying towards the end with the shitty design and overdone widgets on every page. Facebook was a pretty clean and usable alternative. Personally I couldn't stand myspace pages right around when facebook came in. Not evolving your design to user requirements or even to make it aesthetically pleasing is also pissing off your users in my book.
- rm999 14y agoFacebook and Myspace basically competed from the start (although not directly), so the social networking landscape didn't have a chance to find a stable equilibrium. That situation is not comparable to a new service coming out and destroying a strong established network.
