Future of online communities

SHARING
Facebook users have dropped dramatically. MySpace hasn't been going anywhere for a while. Hyves is passé.  What exactly is the future of an online community that has no other purpose than to be a community? Where is Facebook's niche? Hyves didn't have a niche. MySpace had sort of a music niche but, there are way better music communities at this point in time. LinkedIn has a niche for now. Facebook is bound to undergo the same fate as Hyves and MySpace, simply because it has no other purpose then to share... whatever... Having a niche and having mobile as your main (and preferably only) sharing device is the future. Our kids won't go online to sit down and 'read stuff' or 'updates' from their friends they already got through their favourite catch up app. They go online to play games. Chatting, reading and buying is what they do on and with their mobile devices. Also Facebook is pushing the ads on their mobile app way over what your friends share these days. That's not what I signed up for. I have my 'what's on sale', 'where to eat', 'where to stay', or 'what app is hot' app for that. In my pocket. Everywhere I go. Almost 24/7. I work on my desktop. I read on my iPad. My cell is for talking to and sharing with my friends...
