I'm also wondering whether the constant stream of stories such as the most recent breast-feeding take-downs will erode trust in Facebook to the point where particularly valuable demographics of users start to walk. I keep seeing stories about their lack of responsiveness. But there still isn't a contender that delivers that odd combination of range and granularity. Wish there was, though. And as you say, the more niche sites the better. That's were open standards come in - with well-formed and well-deployed standards, a monolithic alternative stops being necessary.
