Facebook will be eclipsed before long. And it will be as dead as myspace is now.
This list and similar lists are a bit different. Although they don’t have the traffic they once had, you know they haven’t been completely abandoned. Because the community was/is genuinely valued by the people on the list.
Whereas Facebook and Myspace, etc, are business ventures that coalesce around a market, a business opportunity, the ability to sell you things.
