Facebook might no longer be a new thing, but it will be a while before it go down hill if it doesn't make huge changes. I am talking about years.
There are more copycats showing up, but they will not become near as big as Facebook any time soon.
I agree, Facebook can never replace a real forum for discussions. But many people don't seem to realize it, and they are too lazy to sign up on a forum which only take a minute to complete. We have a Facebook page for our forum. 800+ fans so far, plenty of likes for most wall updates which are really links to our forum threads. None actually joined to leave a comment on the actual forum thread. What are they thinking?
General Motors is backing out of Superbowl ads. They don't know if it is worth the asking price now.

However I did not like the old IM days because that meant installing 108273986(56^2) different clients depending on your friends (meebo.com fixed this however) so I like how facebook has that. But as you said, people go there for their social fix instead of forums and chatrooms etc. I still frequent forums though because they have a niche I'm interested in and to meet NEW people, not people I already know almost everything about.
I don't think meebo.com handles everything does it? The mutiable programs are still a problem. There are companies making cross platform software for phones and everyone has there favorite. I use BBM but not everyone has a BlackBerry. I have installed two cross platform apps and not many people I know use them. So you would almost have to run 5 or 6 programs to talk to everyone.
