Facebook has momentum. Back then, Zuckerberg just got licky. No, really, he just managed to fill the gap that the duying Myspace, Uboot and what else they're all called left. Right now, you have to convince existing FB users to switch to your platform and that's pretty impossible due to the laziness of human nature. One social network, ok. Two of them, what for?

You'd need to offer something that FB doesn't offer that's compelling enough to make people want to use it...and that would take too long for FB to copy and you think is worth more than the $1 billion that FB would offer to buy you off with if they couldn't copy it.
How about this? The 'perfect' matchmaker. Takes every single bit of information about everyone online, and picks the _one_ person on the internet that is (currently) your perfect romantic match....and updates it every time a bit of information is added, so it's a constantly moving target. People who put more personal information and more recently would get better recommendations. Call it 'THE ONE'.

The thing that facebook got right is making it not about you, but rather about your friends. That is why most people check in. Not to post but to read

I think a big factor in Facebook's success was that it started out on college campuses with an already electronically connected demographic. Once you got the kids, you got [many of] the parents.
I've found that you can't find most of my demographic (born in the 1960s*) on Facebook, but you can find their kids. (Though this is changing, especially for those with grandkids, since Facebook is a convenient way to get pictures, announcements and all that.)
*Only after writing that did I realize that if you were born in 1969, odds are you graduated college in 1991, which is when, for all intents and purposes, the web started.

An era ends. [^]
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

There is a person out there who refuses to believe me when I say, that an "alarm going off" means it is making noise. I do struggle to explain the logic behind that.
