Well the iPhone can be at top for only so long. Without the iPhone Apple would've never gotten to where they are now and someday a better product will be out that will successfully dethrone the iPhone as the "cool" thing to have.

Remember though... It wasn't that long ago that MS had to bailout Apple to help avoid the anti-trust court.

Even young people can remember IRC, various incarnations of incompatible chat programs, My Space, and now facebook (and twitter, and four square, and pinterest). As we speak, the Chinese are working on dozens of their own intra-country versions of apps. It is logical to assume that someone could create something better than facebook.... any day.

yea, facebook is a fad...

can you remember all the search engines that you used before google.
now google isnt going anywhere

once someone does something right its really hard to shake it off

my space was like the angle fire of of social media and not hard to dethrone.
facebook is a juggernaut and will not die without one hell of a fight.

i use FB less and less these days. I just hate all those apps that will take your basic info and repost things automatically on your behalf. When a better mousetrap comes along, i'll be among the first to switch over.

Sorry atheist troll but you are wrong. Most Christians don't believe your statement and only atheist scum like you that tell that lie.

[citation][nom]tonync_01[/nom]I'm not sure what you're basing this on. Facebook has been around and growing for about 8 years now, I don't think you can call that a fad.[/citation]
AOL is still around too

The co-founder recently renounced his US citizenship, and fled to Singapor, pirate capital of the internet, as a tax dodge.

You have my opinion.
