Nice take on this, Mark.
Two things: Many people in the Toronto network on Facebook live two hours away. I have “Toronto” friends in Peterborough. So, I think the number is inflated.

Second, I had received a Facebook invitation directly from Facebook, but ignored it. Then I decided to join when my daughter, who’s in university, encouraged me. Of course, my younger child, who is in high school, is aghast that I am in her space, and promises to rebuff any effort on my part to be her “friend.”

In a way it has already started happening. My gf is a huge facebook fan but has recently started noticing people she doesn’t want to be “friends” with asking for friend invites into her network. How can she share the latest gossip about work when her boss is sitting right in her network and can possibly catch wind of what is said? Sure there are blocking features, but how can you explain to your boss why you blocked her? Got something to hide?

This type of thing is going to make Facebook “uncool” eventually and it will lose its steam.

Hmmm…an argument (and prediction) could be made that the essence of what makes something popular in an adolescent culture is the inevitable unpopularity that must follow as the dawn follows the night. The cutting edge ‘cool kids’ will turn up their noses, laying claim to social superiority with a, ‘Oh, you’re still doing that?’

This too shall pass.
