They (and we) are laying the roads is all. Someday we will all have a chip in our brains to ID and photograph and "tag" people, organizing all of humanity and our histories into a social network. But that's, um, in Beta to say the least. :-) The Web itself will become more social spear headed by Facebook, but no, Facebook will not be walled, nor the place to be.

For a while, I thought that a facebook style social network would make that happen. Now, I am starting to think that it will be Twitter. The purpose of facebook, at least for me, has become to connect and monitor via the news feed. I rarely use facebook to have conversations. In fact, messages in my facebook email box usually go unanswered for weeks. I find that the facebook newsfeed has allowed me to passively follow the lives of people in my social graph. Passive = little to no conversation. The purpose of Twitter, on the other hand, is to communicate. With communication in its DNA, conversation and engagement are a natural byproduct. I use twitter far more often to converse than facebook. Perhaps what I love the most about twitter is that it allows me to have conversations with people outside of my social graph. Powerful stuff.
