If you want to know why: It's because I personally believe the future of social networks is to niche, with disparate social networks connected via a Distributed Social Networking Protocol. Your social network account will be more like your email account. I think Facebook will find itself on the wrong side of history when that battle starts by trying to lock down it's data and lock people into Facebook.

That's just my belief and I'm open to the possibility that it could be completely wrong, so don't go crazy with the down votes.

But if we're just talking about the next 12 to 24 months, then, oh yes, of course he will.

Regarding the Zuck = Jobs. Absolutely not. Yes, they are both product people. But Mark Zuckerberg does not have the same aura or doesn't necessarily have the same depth of intellectuality that Jobs (college dropout or not) had. When I see Mark Zuckerberg, I think more of the Bill Gates or our time than an artistic genius with deep root in counter-culture lifestyle.

Bill's vision was: a computer on every desk. When he was saying this, this was very bold.

Really great point. I love the reasoning you give to back up your arbitrary statements.

This sounds a lot like the subreddit system.

Please make it happen, someone. No doubt a lot of people dislike being locked into long-term contracts with service providers, be they cellphone, cable, email or social networking services.

I think that Jeff Bezos is more Jobs than Zuckerberg is, but who knows.

Hahahaha. That's a funny thought.

But now that you mention it, yes. Though maybe with a slightly less endeared/worshipping sentiment.
