Whatever is hot today can quickly be replaced especially if the functionalty of it is replaced with something less annoying or more user friendly. I would guess most teens are communicating over social networks because there is far less hassle. No spam, no junk, no remembering an email addy. Yesterday when the sale was announced more than twice as many contacted me by fb msg over email.
There is always opportunity and now more than ever you can get a project to 1 million users faster than ever and you can drop back to zero faster than ever. You have to stay sharp.
It will be interesting to see if tubes evolve or if they stay stagnant the way paysites did.

Tubes improved the presentation method. But what has been lacking noticeably have been innovations to making the finding of desired content easier and more intuitive. The conventional methods primarily involving keywords or search terms is rather lame and stone age. There are many possible innovations here. In general some that I consider revolve around making the presentation more adaptive to user actions and more intelligent (instead of simply relying on plain old categories and searches). But the question is can that be implemented now in scalable and realistic way now?
