People come out with all kinds of wired solutions to the facebook problem. But the most important question to ask is not whether the new solution solves facebook problems. More importantly, you need to ask is there a demand of the new solution. 99.99% of the time, the answer is no. Why would anyone pay to post message when they can post for free in other social networks. It will never go mainstream unless there is a real demand and little friction.

Incorrect. Fidonet and Usenet are two examples of built communities that were able to have reasonable discussions with up to days or weeks between messages.
That's voluntary though. Nobody stopped anybody from having near real-time conversations.
Regardless, since both thrived at 1 message per minute or slower for years, your blanket rejection of non-realtime social opportunities is shown false.
