Re:If Yahoo buys, it will fail (Score 1)

they're certainly not going to go through the effort to rebuild their social networks just because Facebook has gone commercial.

And really, why should they? It's not like Facebook was some sort of idealistic, let's-be-counter-culture site. It was always a social networking site, albeit smaller and more specialized than others. I don't think it has a lot of things that will be ruined by it going commercial.
