Creating new spaces

I like the idea of customizable spaces. Could these new social media constructs be where kids start to spread their own ideas? I know that Facebook and Myspace were where kids would gather, but I think once adults started showing up they quickly moved on (I enjoyed learning about the Creepy Treehouse concept earlier in the semester). Will there be a day when each person is able to create their own space, and link that space to other peoples social networks? Sites like Facebook do an okay job of this already, but what will the next creation bring?

The problem with getting involved with new networks like this is many times there are not really all that many people there. You may find that you even if you know one or two, there is not the same level of participation you would find on a website like Facebook. And this makes you wonder, Am I part of the leading edge of social content, or is this not going to be a place where people gather?

But who knew Twitter was going to take off like it did?
