Are we over Facebook yet? I sure hope so.

I personally became tired of Facebook some time ago. I still left it open as a viable option for business, but only open to niche markets that actually would apply to Facebook's medium and core demographic (the small percentage of power users not the millions of "account holders").

Maybe it is the recent security concerns (again), or bothersome event notifications, friend requests (lets not get into the definition of a "friend"), or the daily request to join some irrelevant group, I am really not sure. But either way, I believe the heyday for Facebook has passed.

I am not saying that Facebook is going away. Surely it is not any time soon. Nor am I saying that it will not continue to grow (in the short term it may). It has just passed it's prime. It has lost its direction and relevancy.
