Facebook has developed trust with its members (and it will be interesting to see if the Beacon announcement affects that) and it is much harder for the other players to easily replicate that. I participate because I know people are who they say they are, and I have control over my settings - just because I can throw a sheep at someone in a better fashion over at Orkut isn't enough of a reason for me to convince my friends to move.

I worry that facebook risks death by virus: in the form of friendspam. It’s going to get complicated and require more than a little fuzzy logic to pull off.

MySpace, FaceBook, etc. are just containers that Open Social can build upon. Blog about pages will become the Profile pages of the future. They'll just be hooked into OpenID+OpenSocial instead of FaceBook. What happens when the WikiMedia foundation releases an open source Social Networking Container that uses Wikipedia servers? FaceBook could become irrelevant within a few months. Facebook is toast. MySpace, FaceBook, etc. are just containers that Open Social can build upon.
