Four Reasons Facebook Became A Colossus | LinkedIn

Final paragraph of a David Kirkpatrick Facebook long-view perspective

"Americans loves to hate the powerful. Facebook may be the most-used service on the Internet, and it may be free, but it still elicits widespread disdain and dismissal. Perhaps that's healthy. We need to question where our technologized lives are going. But Facebook will survive it. A business with 1.23 billion users doesn't go away quickly, no matter what happens. And for now it's still headed the other way. In the developing world, people are increasingly crazy for this service. It will probably go to 2 billion, maybe 3 or even 4, before it celebrates its 20th anniversary."
