    I think myspace took the first-mover advantage already on this one, so many more people already have myspace that it would be hard to gain that much of the market share.

    orkut may be a competitor, but I don't think they will ever beat myspace.

    Bebo is quite big in a few countries - bigger than Myspace. Havn't heard the same about Orkut yet.

    Orkut is a competitor but its reach is restricted. Most of the users are Brazilians, with a fair amount coming from Asia. May be with time, those figures will change.

    But as of now, I do not see Orkut dethroning Myspace.
