I am curious to see what the plan is. Nothing Facebook has done since they opened has been remotely impressive.
It might be cool if they turned into more of a mixed-media site. Technically they support uploading videos but almost nobody uses that. It's sort of an out-of-the-way feature. There's probably some risk of muddying the water if they try to diversify too much, too. I think that was part of MySpace's problem. It's a social network! It's a blog! It's music! It's videos! It's a shitty interface with bad privacy and too many way to fuck up your account so everyone switches to Facebook, which is simpler!
Even as it stands, there's grumblings against Facebook, mostly over their pretty confusing privacy settings.
A social media site with a better interface could potentially take over. There was lots of hope that Google Plus would do it but their interface wasn't that great either and nobody really switched to it.
