"Apple doesn’t copy things that they don’t perceive as working well — they re-imagine things. In that light wouldn’t a better social network — one that more directly helps Apple — be a network that you don’t even know you are using? Perhaps the next “big” social network doesn’t have a central domain that you login in to — now that would be a real threat to Facebook."

I’m excited about iMessage.

Get Facetime and voice dialing mixed in there with texts and photos and eventually Apple will wind up providing an incredible living archive of your relationships.

(Google Wave, I know, but still. It’s plausible.)
