I used to get evites all the time, now i get them through facebook. It seems that since a greater percentage of people are on facebook already, it is much easier to manage and encourage their interaction within facebook than without. I also find that it is much easier to have people invite people. The ability to host and attend events where everyone can post to the message board of that event is nearly priceless. I think facebook's growth will stabilize inevitably (only but so many people) but the use is becoming such a part of the social fabric that it may be the actual center of a new era of communication and connectedness. Basically, this is the killer app that online pundits have been prophesying. I think the trend in the future that will keep facebook at the top of the interaction hierarchy are social meetings.
