What do you think? Is it really that cool to everybody?
McDonald's is 70 years old, lets not jump the gun on end of civilization.
Facebook is huge and will likely stay with us for a long time, but there will be enough competition from many different places, like Google, Apple and Microsoft, as well as other known and yet unknown players.

Facebook is massive, they have a great platform to extend to the more important areas of Identification and Payment that will be coming up, if it plays its cards right (which everything is pointing to at the moment) they could be able to be in the same league as Google.

I had heard that myspace fell off because of spamming (which I honestly don't know what exactly that means) and viruses ( which I understand ) but I thought it appealed to the young people (15-35). My dad (65) has a facebook account. And this is a guy who didn't do computers.

Facebook has it too, but not as bad.

McDonald's has been surpassed by Subway in number of locations, so you may have a bad analogy in using McDonald's.
To actually answer the question and not miss your point, no, Facebook will not become the McDonald's of social networking. There are many social networking sites but it's quite obvious that Twitter and Facebook are "top." McDonald's has tons of steep competition. Facebook doesn't have the same type and depth of competition.
What about facebook's future? If Facebook does not adapt to future trends, it will fade away from the digitial eye and something else will replace it.
