Think it may go in cycles, for both search engines and social networks.
For search engines:
First we had specific directories (Yahoo, others), then a single search engine (Google), followed by need of vertical search engines
For social:
First we had all those nice forums; then (now) Facebook; again we could go to context specific verticals (e.g. HN a hacker vertical version of FB, which has the context for hackers)
