It looks like fb is going to be able to dominate in the long term. My guess is people have enough friends that are in different countries. At least this is true in Europe where having all people in Spain and France is valuable to Germans. China on the other hand may not have this dynamic and could be a lost cause for facebook at this point: http://trends.google.com/websites?q=www.xiaonei.com%2Cfacebook.com&geo=CN&date=all&sort=0 http://trends.google.com/websites?q=www.xiaonei.com%2Cfacebo...
