I kid you not, our journalists were so addicted to Facebook that they'd have it open while reading news bulletins, they'd literally be reading on air while updating their pages. They'd miss lines, and make mistakes. As you can imagine… Facebook didn’t last very long on our URL white list ;) I work at a radio station (fairly big one), in the news booths there are 2 computers.

GET A LIFE one that doesn't revolve around the computer 24/7... learn how to communicate with people face to face and not the damn LOL, LMAO, etc nonsense. you all are so damn sensitive these days... And if Facebook were to crash... there is SKYPE, and who knows what that can still keep people connected. being thought provoking is a way to stay sharp and always 10 steps ahead MORONS!!! (mainly the ones who do not get that simple concept) Wow, I like how one thought got you all trigger happy.

These are kinds of things that get's people thinking and sparks conversations. I don't believe in "lowering writing standards" in this case. After all, I'm not a newspaper publication. @Toado, interesting ideas for sure. And thanks! :) @Kevin, since when was it wrong to write entries about hypothetical and thought-provoking ideas?

(Although this seems a lot probable if they don't innovate with their products and services, ala Hotmail) Agreed Blogging is BIG, but i think social networking is BIGGER still, with a single user registered with multiple sites. The sites may face financial issues but i think firms are ready to buy them to improve on their own. (Remember Google still has Orkut.) All in all, lasha...you have pretty wild ideas. Keep it up ...it pays to be imaginative. :) Not that i am a avid social networking sites user,

You can't even imagine a situation where Facebook or MySpace would fold. I'm just tired of authors who think that use blogging as an excuse to lower writing standards and express their unsupported ideas. Also, engaging with your reader base via Twitter is completely different than writing someone a message on Facebook. Just because they're both forms of social networking doesn't mean they serve the same purpose. Because this is your opinion, I can’t expect you to back up your ideas with evidence or reasons?

Blogging is peoples opinions and as so is the comment slot. @Whatthehell really didn't have to get all nasty with what Lasha had to say. I think that if Myspace and Facebook did not exist anymore then that is just a reason for us as people to find something better to do in our day besides let that, give us a headache. I think that most people choose not to blog because it requires to much brain usage (thinking and some knowledge). Oh and yes social networks are becoming a part of our lives, but keep in mind there are more than facebook and myspace out there, so if they seem to evaporate in time then I'm sure we will manage with others.

Of course, some of the "reasons for failure" don't sound likely at all, but the unthinkable has happened in the past and it may very well happen again. Come on, where's your humor? Throughout the past couple of years, blogging has experienced exponential growth. Without a doubt, some people will turn to blogging as their next method of marking their presence on the web. The level of networking that can go into the development of blogs and blogging communities is huge! Almost everyone that is aware of the mainstream blogosphere network and communicate by services like Twitter and Plurk (including me). You may not agree, but bloggers are often engaged with their readers and other bloggers. @Whatthehell, I am thankful for your concerns regarding my headaches, but what I wish to talk about is up to me. Understand that the reason of why this was written is to help people grasp the idea that social networks are becoming a huge part of our lives, often without even realizing it. @Kevin, first of all, you need to understand that this is a simple opinionated piece about my thoughts and ideas.
