I believe you're 100% correct and at some point they will be a major competitor out there. Well said Derek. I believe you’re 100% correct and at some point they will be a major competitor out there.

Some NYU students have raised enough money to build the "anti-Facebook" called Diaspora (http://joindiaspora.com). Don't know anything about it yet, but thought I would share. Plus, apparently, some people are organizing a Facebook exodus for May 31st. Guess this could get interesting after all.

I haven't seen much in the way of competing sites as of yet, but there are some really intelligent minds out there that could certainly give Facebook a run for their money. Hopefully they're sitting at some restaurant under a palm tree figuring out their strategy on the back of a napkin. As far as the changes go, if they continue down this path of deciding for us what level of sharing we're going to do, I think that they'll start to see a mass exodus in the future. People will only allow for so many snafus before they decide enough is enough.
