Facebook loses a few bitches | The Register

Is Facebook going the way of most Web 2.0 sites, especially the ones that attempt to get us whimsical individuals network socially? Do you even remember myspace?

"Facebook has suffered its first drop in monthly users, according to numbers from web analytics outfit Nielsen Online.

Five per cent fewer people in the UK visited the site in January compared to the previous month. A total of 400,000 seem to have become bored with the social network and didn't bother to return.

A year earlier Facebook was still growing rapidly, despite the usual seasonal dip experienced online."

Considering that Zune is investing money into and marketing the "Social" experience via http://social.zune.net, I can't help but ask the question - is this investment sound? What do we turn to when the users change their minds and divert their attention to the new fad?
