My impression is that the fundamental factor in play is catching eye balls. Social networking like facebook is a success on this perspective. But facebook can't be the end of the story, I hope not.
Stop aping existing social networking services. Make something people want, something that provides a new dimension to human interaction.
Smart phones is a disruptive technology change which should provide opportunities for new usage and applications which would be disruptive too. This "market" opportunity emerged post facebook and because of Android, google has a significant advantage over competitors it could and should leverage.
The wise points at the moon and the fool looks at the finger. Social networking is the finger. Look where it points to and target this. Restore the initiative of creativity and invention. Reconsider google wave for instance.
