What I like about your investment is that Facebook is a product that many people are addicted to. It's not just a fad or trend, but it's become ingrained in people's everyday routines. As long as Facebook has the hold on the people, it has great potential to create revenue from those people. I don't see Facebook losing a huge chunk of its users anytime soon.

There are countless amount of ways facebook could make more money off its users; the trick will be for Facebook to exploit its users as smoothly as possible without causing waves of discontent.

Google bought its way into Mobile. Facebook has shitty apps that provide limited functionality currently.

Mobile Search and Mobile Ads are wars that have yet to be won. I think FB holds all the cards.

After advertising, a user fee (which would kill it, imo) and selling users' preferences to vendors, what are the other ways?

I get aggravated enough when other sites use my FB and attach to it for example: spotify. I don't want everyone knowing exactly what song I'm listening to 24/7. I'd definitely say the same for things like ebay, some people don't want their name out there for all the crap they buy.

I don't think FB will be replaced as quickly as some think, but I don't think it'll go in the direction you're thinking either
