    Don't you people remember "Myspace"? It was the giant, huge, nothing could beat it. But Facebook came along and offered more interactive communications with your friends and some other attractive ways to interact with friends. Wack! Myspace was dead in a few years...gone.

    Facebook grew rapidly because it was easy to build a large group of friends and LIKES on a fan page. It was great that you could hit "send" and have your message go to thousands of people. It was great. However, the brains at Facebook a number of months ago decided to LIMIT your audience to something like 10% of the people on your friends/LIKE list. Now when you hit send it goes to a MUCH smaller group of people and people that Facebook decides who they are.

    I don't think everyone realizes this. You no longer can have a friends list of say 4000 people and reach all of them...you just reach around 400 of them and that is decided by some super formula known only to them. It is no longer the amazing tool it once was.
    So yes, they have become VERY susceptible to be taken over by someone.

    Add to that their ridiculous requirement that you MUST know someone before you can add them. Growing a site today is extremely more difficult than it was 5 years ago. It is no longer a real networking site in a true sense, it is a site limited to ONLY your friends...which is insane. Add too many people you don't know and you will get blocked. Insane. I think we will be seeing holes in Facebooks feet before too long. They are NOT the site they used to be at all.

    I find it totally logical. I know a few people who have multiple accounts because they want one for their real friends and one for the masses. It's not how facebook is designed to be used. If you have a fan base you want to communicate with then create a page and keep your friends list small and tight.

    Example: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Walker/227277802160?fref=ts

    I imagine Sarah probably gets lots of friend requests and hopefully she ignores those that aren't actual friends.

    Example: https://www.facebook.com/althlete67?fref=ts

    This lets Di share info about her kids etc on her wall, but keep her sporting posts to a single place and maintain some privacy.

    I don't see Facebook ever dying... maybe if Google came up with something truly amazing as they have the resources and power to do so, but so far they haven't come close - not many people use Plus. How else could FB die?

    Does it really matter to internet marketers whether Facebook dies or not? If it doesn't die, great. If it does, there will be something else.

    I trust there will be another platform that we can use to reach as many people as we can with our products and services.

    We've got too many creative and inventive people in this world figuring this stuff out. Today it's Google and Facebook. Tomorrow it could be _______. (Fill in the blank.)

    Just sharing in response to this post.

    I don't think so it will dead by 2017. Facebook time to time introduced new features that attract people and they start using it with interest.

    I agree with you as they had a lot of spam accounts and most of the college students who waste their time by spending on facebook.
    Parents still don't know what their kids are doing.
