Analysing Facebook’s recent activity explosion, Mashable claimed that it was beating the social-networking giant MySpace on almost every level.

Yet there is speculation about how solid Facebook’s position is. Mark Evans discussing the ‘Five Things That Could Kill Facebook’ points to increased ‘inbox contamination’ and ‘application noise’.

This clutter and a new focus on business goals could lead Facebook down the same route as MySpace. Mashable concluded with a warning: 

“MySpace was a great social network for a while, but now there are too many spammers and the developers have stopped innovating…So, you might want to check it [Facebook] out, while it’s still cool.”
