    it depends
    if it keep on updating & making new features i think yes
    the competition is now so high, any new social network has to provide or create new feature which no one has used before, it's a matter of creation nothing more

    it definitely will be still there, another company could come in an take a percentage of their traffic but it is growing a such a fast rate and is being adding into regular business practice, like most business now have Facebook pages. They have also just built a massive server area that is going to be added in the near future which shows they are planning on staying for the long term. :)

    Yes I do. The site makes billions of dollars everyday. The many owners/shareholders won't let it fail.

    I think they'll still be around in 10 years, but I think it's highly unlikely that they'll still be the top. It will be very interesting to see how they diversify in the long term to manage their overall viability and profitability.

    My Opinion:

    Yes - Considering the amount of users currently, and Joining each day.. Mark thought he could make a Real Business out of it, and has Succeeded Declining offers from Yahoo and Microsoft for Billions of Dollars, Spam is having a impact, and users are leaving.

    I Remember when Bebo was the top!
    then facebook was out and Bebo was in the past.

    I've seen an increase of Facebook users, converting to Twitter?

    It's got the Potential to grow even more!
    Just hope they can keep it going for it to succeed

    Yes this is a hard question to answer. That's almost like buying a new car and wondering if it will not have a flat tire for the next 10 years. I don't want to say that it will or it won't but I personally believe that it will still be around in 10 years. Will it still be as popular as it is today, nobody can really say.

    Facebook does NOT make lots of money. In FACT, they are IN DEBT to investors. After they pull an IPO and the investors leave, the public is left with the overvalued stock which will then drop to it's REAL VALUE, which will be based on assets and receivables multiplied by about 5 typically. After that the chances of it being here in 10 years go WAY WAY WAY down. Shareholders demand ROI and will litigate against you if you don't deliver.

    It depends 100% on the size of the IPO scam they can get away with running. They currently will need to overvalue the company by about 48 to 98 Billion Dollars if they want to pull off the IPO for 50 or 100 Billion Dollars.

    We have to see how the IPO is marketed to the general public and how fast the current investors sell out once they can. If ALL the rats leave the ship, it is because it is sinking, if the majority stay then it is sinking slowly, if they all stay then it's all good and the rest of us can come aboard

    Will it be alive? Yes.
    Will it be what it is today? No, I don't think so.
