Social Media sites will always rise and fall. Facebook is what's hot right now, just like myspace was years ago.
Friendster lost out to Myspace because people wanted more freedom to communicate and express themselves, Myspace lost out to Facebook because sometimes too much freedom to express yourself can be a bad thing.
Who will be next and what will be next is anyone's guess, but if there is a safe bet it's that in the next 5 years it probably won't be facebook.
I spend time on facebook because that's where the majority of my contacts spend their time online, not because I love it. Facebook offers me nothing that makes me feel invested in facebook. The site is always acting up, apps and app requests are annoying, etc. I will easily jump from FB onto the next train whenever that whistle blows.
