Facebook as purely a social network likely wouldn't last much longer, but they've since gone way beyond basic social networking...
Facebook is increasingly becoming a platform for many well known sites for product promotion, content distribution, message forums, etc; the need for more large datacenters, such as the NC one.
In my view, many of the numerous websites that increasingly depend on Facebook are making a huge mistake in that they're ceding too much control, and diluting their own website identity...
For example, many websites utilize Facebook's content platform, discussion system, etc instead of their own; many websites seemingly go out of their way to tout Facebook, including GFY, which has the "f" icon in every post.
Point is that if Facebook continues to becomes a widely utilized platform by 3rd party websites, Facebook has a long-term future far longer than its predecessors.
