Lets look at where things stand:
Facebook is still the big juggernaught of the bunch.
Myspace, even though going downward, is still the #2 big boy.
Twitter moving up, still doesn't hold a candle to either of these two.
The rest.. barely even make a blip in comparison.
Until there is an effective way to allow people to have a distributed method of interaction, rather than giving ownership over to punks like these, you are going to continue to see this.
I have seen some pretty interesting ideas on this, but it is going to depend largely on the ability of these projects to market, doesn't matter if they have a superior product or not. Macrosoft proved that to the world 20 years ago.
Anybody noticed that Yahoo! and MSN are slowly stepping into this arena with their Messengers too? There is more and more social integration with them now, but it's interesting to see how they haven't really taken hold with many.
