I guess my earlier attempt at humor wasn't received too well.
On a serious note, I think there are too many ifs and buts for all this to happen. Google for some "is" the internet. Facebook is a social network and for it break out and become this behemoth which helps you do anything and everything online sounds a little far fetched at this point.
But then again, Facebook users are addicts. In the absence of any real competing service, they will stick on in spite of all the extra fluff. Their problem will always be, if not Facebook, then what?
