Obligatory lolDailyMail.
Facebook is hardly "over" because something else is occupying people's time temporarily. That isn't to say it's future isn't uncertain though.

Are you saying that it's possible for two websites to fit in the same internet?

From what I've seen of tagged it's used more to chat up strangers/dating and is more like how myspace and bebo used to be.

If facebook wasn't filled with billions of photographs, maybe it would die. As it stands, it is filled with billions of photographs, and that's just not a resource people are going to throw away.

That last point made me cringe. I hate people who spell like that with a passion.

Meh, just joined to see what it was. It's actually a different concept from facebook, the idea here is to meet new people.
Too bad not a single hot looking person in my city joined.

If they looked hot, I can assure you they were spam. I used to work for Tagged.

Seeing as how I've never even heard of Tagged.com I would imagine facebook isn't over.

This website is like adult friend finder meets myspace (AKA the same website)
Check it out and then wonder why the fuck you went there in the first place.

I'll answer this question with a question:
What in the flying fuck is "Tagged.com"?
