Facebook, like MySpace and Friendster before it, is more than likely a passing fad. I believe MySpace began to lose its cache with the younger crowd when 30+ started showing up -- and I think Facebook is heading in the same direction. The moment it opened up its network to non-college students, I think it started its countdown to irrelevance with a certain segment of the population (those who nutured its creation and don't want their parents or employers monitoring their activities).
