So while the likes of Facebook will still exist (though I think it's one of the weakest of the social networking site models), it will only be for a niche purpose. Effectively we're slowly moving towards the point at which the internet as a whole is the social network, and individual sites nothing more than...I guess...the equivalent of specific chatrooms.

Here are my 2 cents... Communities exist beyond infrastructures (mine is already made up by people in Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, many of the people having conversations in their own blogs, Yahoo Q&A). As in real life, knowledge is what makes the community stick. I know who is in and who's not, where they are and how to reach them, who they know and who they are friends with and what they are expert about. I don't have to put them all in the same room for the community to exist and live. (this does not prevent to organize a nice gathering every so often) So I strongly believe that community builders will approach community building thru information. Let people select Facebook, LinkedIn or other platform when it make sense, blog in their or other favorite places, and rely on knowledge to engage and mobilize communities.
