I don't know how many customers Facebook has. Do you?
It's certainly less than the 30 million customers AOL had. (Customer defined as someone who pays for service).
Facebook has it's place for the people who like safe, controlled and easy. Like 30m AOL customers. MySpace was never safe, barely controlled and not really easy.
AOL lost out because its model was broken - most people found the winder web more interesting than it's curated pages. Facebook doesn't curate it's own pages. It's a microcosm of the web. It is not going to fail in the same way as AOL or MySpace.
I for one am happy for all this stuff to stay on Facebook, and for the wider web to contain the heavy-weight version.
