Once they get market share, unless they do something really crazy, you can't topple one of the market leaders. I mean who is ever going to topple -
You could probably ask the folks at Photobucket, Mapquest, Ubid, Barnes and Noble or Borders, Ask Jeeves, AltaVista, Myspace, and the folks who ran newsgroups. They have all pretty much been toppled by the current players.
If there's one thing to learn from that is that any current leader always needs to watch it's back, you never know when there's something coming up you never even considered (Twitter for example)
