Is The Social Network Field Thinning?

In a recent Nielson ratings study, it was found that 3 of the top 5 Social Networking sites had reductions in unique users.  This is essentially the number of new users.  While Facebook and Twitter posted gains over last year of 69% and 45%, respectively, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Classmates Online fell.    In my opinion, this trend will continue as Facebook adds to its arsenal of applications and increases partnerships with other relevant social networking tools. Perhaps this is a sign of thinning in the Social Network arena.
