Like I tell people, it has only been 3-4 years since the social network thing took off. We have very little idea where it will be five years from now. Very little.
One thing for sure is that this is not a fad. It is way too big and too outreaching to be a fad. Plus I don't hear people saying "hey I joined a social network" - they just say "facebook me so we can keep in touch."

I am not surprised at all.
Social networks are an interesting thing, Myspace in particular, on one side you have the people who actually find people who can help them and contribute to some sort of group project, and the other side where people feel popular and find friends, both of these are powerful and contribute to a lot of page views ;)
