I tend to agree, but then I never thought any of that stuff would go any farther than 12 yo so ...
That said the thinking is that Facebook will become the directory for humanity, that it has tons of room to grow globally and that it hasn't even begun to monetize yet (via ads for example). What doesn't seem to be clear is how mobile plays out. Apple owns the platform, but .... Ads? Games? Content? Payments? And then there's the concept of how "the cloud" will fit in. Nobody's winning that space yet. I like android ( g nex ) and the google cloud stuff but then I'm biased I guess.
