### Comment:
Sometimes it takes iterations of a concept before something sticks. Current social media apps have lasted way longer than MySpace and AIM did. And if a social media company can adapt and keep improving, then they can stay popular.

### REPLY:
Each iteration lasts longer than the last, but I'm not so convinced that we unilaterally fucked it all up on try 1 and then perfected it try 2.   
  
 I'm thinking that things last orders of magnitude. So if MS lasted in the ~1y range, FB will last in the ~10y range, and so on going up.
