All in all, sites like Myspace and Facebook will probably be dead within a year….but other bits of Web 2.0 like blogs and commenting probably won’t be dead for a long, long time.

I don’t think MySpace and Facebook will be dead anytime soon. Their market base is way too large and MySpace is already owned by a larger parent company.

I’ve often thought that we aren’t in a bubble right now as well, but there are too many new sites popping up and trying the “get rich quick” scheme. Everyone wants to be acquired, and sites are popping up faster than Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft can open their pocket books. Somethings gotta give.
