Challenge to Google’s search supremacy will come not from Yahoo or MSN but from these social sites. People will gradually move over to social sites to provide more accurate and relevant search results.

True social media sites are a huge draw right now but let me sound a word of caution here. There is a real chance that search engine algorithms will will devalue social media derived links sooner or later. The reason is that pointers from social media sites are not as authoritative as those coming from respected directory sites. If that happens obviously such sites would be less useful for SEO purposes. I think there’s also an issue about the quality of traffic which you can expect to receive from the social media sites , how much of those traffic actually leads to conversions.
