The question is how will the "second tier" and below innovate to meet user needs. So beyond branding and marketing and so forth, it comes down to those useful tools. That, and being able to herd the right kinds of cats together so that they can network with one another ;-) Yes, there are already umpteen number of social networkign choices out there (with MySpace and probably now Facebook as “default” choices).
