But look at the history of online social networking, going way back to Usenet in the 1980s: social networking tends to follow the second law of thermodynamics. Meaning: online social networks naturally tend to break apart and segment themselves, rather than aggregate in one big bowl of soup. Sure, we've recently had massive aggregate platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. But the power of online social identity is not in the faceless, lowest-common-denominator aggregate, but rather affiliations, passions, and niche areas of interest. Back to the topic at hand here, hey -- great for FriendFeed. They don't need to be the biggest. In fact, I have a FF account, but I use iminta instead. Same difference. But my niche interests have aggregated more there than on FF. Oddly, one of MySpace's biggest reasons for survival right now is that they are NOT Facebook. That's become a sort of asset for those who wish to identify themselves separately. Still, I spend more time on online forums that talk about niche subjects more than I do on any unwashed mass of digital humanity social network.
