Imagine if the Google guys looked at Alta Vista and Yahoo back in the 90's and said "Gee, those guys got the search engine market cornered ... hey Sergy, whatdya say we go buy a Subway franchise instead?"

No one EVER has any market cornered because once investors get involved, the business focus shifts from satisfaction of customers, to satisfaction of shareholders. That gives Fastlaners opportunity every single time. Guaranteed.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, just unlikely. Like I said before, another company has to revolutionize how social networking is done in the same way that Google revolutionized how search is done; they didn't just come with a product that was similar to Yahoo; their search engine was far superior which is how they managed to gain momentum.
