Myspace has 2 votes?  Someone tell me that they have got to be joking.
Sympathy vote perhaps? :P

And no I doubt facebook will go down in popularity by start of next year, it only just started getting momentum this year. IMO though, facebook should have some kind of age restriction...like 17 and over or something.
Maybe with high school students, but it's been big with uni students since 2007 definitely - pretty much everyone I know at college has had one since their first year.

Yeh, I didn't have one in high school and it wasn't really essential, but now in uni, I'm sure others agree that it's pretty much essential to have one in order to keep up to date with events and friends and so on. I find that once people hit uni, stuff like MSN becomes a lot less popular as people spend less time procrastinating and actually doing stuff. Hence, Facebook becomes the preferred communication alternative really.
