&gt; Most regular people I know enjoy Facebook<p><i>I</i> enjoy Facebook.  I just see opportunity for something next-generation.  Also, I disagree with the notion that Facebook will be fine forever as the dominant player in social networking.  They are better off with more competition.  Gates and Jobs are quoted saying that Microsoft and Apple&#x27;s existence helped each other become better companies [1] [2], and helped get more useful computers into people&#x27;s homes and businesses faster.<p>Gmail offers an export feature of its emails and contacts in formats that are importable by other tools.<p>Facebook could do this for your friends list.  They <i>don&#x27;t</i> because they&#x27;ve never had competition that provides such a feature.<p>When internet explorer became free for everyone, Netscape was forced to become free for everyone.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m curious about where you see the demand?<p>Demand doesn&#x27;t make or break a new product.  There wasn&#x27;t demand for cars or iPods before they came out.<p>That&#x27;s the best I can explain it.  If you don&#x27;t agree that&#x27;s fine.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wvhW8cp15tk?t=23m42s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wvhW8cp15tk?t=23m42s</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wvhW8cp15tk?t=1h8m25s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;wvhW8cp15tk?t=1h8m25s</a>
