I'm not particularly enamoured of Facebook (or Second Life for that
matter) but I have to point out:
1/. Facebook has been around for four years now. How old does it need
to be before it isn't a 'fad' anymore?
2/. The "uneducated teen", by and large, isn't using these
applications. The demographics for Facebook for example indicate that
the majority of users are well out of their teens. I believe Second
Life shows similar demographics.
I think I agree with the point about looking for the lowest common
denominator, if I've understood it correctly. I think I detect a trend
among web applications towards this principle - Twitter being a good
example.
