Quote from acerbits:
it's all temporary fad money, not a sustainable quality profit stream. theres no long term value in this kind of junk.
Kids 20 years from now will be using facebook. Im quite sure of this. Theyve found and milked a niche that is based on fundamental human desires. There isn't and won't be an incentive for people to switch off of facebook. Friendster died because it never gained the popularity facebook has now. Therefore, the original friendster users were almost "forced" to switch. The market has settled now.
Look outside of your own high and mighty opinion about what is and isn't valuable and you might see whats going on in the world.
