Facebook-esque social networking is here to stay.
This, so much. As an owner of a smartphone I would quite happily scrap texting if none of my friends/family used it, I could just get a low text/minutes contract with a high data allowance and use email/Facebook/Skype for everything I need. MMS is indeed expensive and not included with a lot of plans, I know I sure as hell can't use it without an extra charge and yet I can still happily upload photos to Facebook and Twitter as I wish.
On another note, I have over 500 friends on Facebook, would I give them all my mobile number instead of using Facebook? Sure as hell no.
