My (sure to be wrong) Facebook predictions:
* The Facebook Phone
* The Facebook Netbook
* Major user datamining product sales to global governments
* Acquiring binge (gaming, education (I think they will go for Khan Academy)
* video hosting
* Their own voip platform
Facebook still has a lot of room to innovate, not that they would necessarily be successful in each iteration. But I would say that the number one thing FB could do right now to have a major impact is to create an education platform.
If their nearly billion users can all take education throgh the platform that would be very game changing. Allow users to sign up for classes, watch them, participate on them and collaborate with other students directly through facebook - plus have their progress and status tracked and gamefied then we could see real growth.
As facebook could start absorbing every person on the planet that is newly born.
Seriously, if facebook didnt buy KhanAcademy and integrate it for this reason, then I would say they lack vision and are simply the worlds most bloated PHP website.
