Aspects of Facebook,Twitter,Flickr and Youtube

I'm choosing to focus on the aspects of the 4 sites Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Youtube simply because i'm more familiar with them than the others, hopefully exploring the aspect will help to give me a clearer design direction.

instant messaging/ chat

history

Flickr
groups
picnik-photo editing ap
200 photos ( if more are added then only the most recent 200 are displayed)
upload 300 Mb of images
only 2 videos per month

Twitter
following/unfollowing (friends and celebrities, actors musicians etc)
trend

i've highlighted the ones which i think look more interesting and could promote some more interesting slogans. i'm ruling out Flickr just because i find the site a bit bland in comparison to the others. so far the block symbol on Facebook is the most intriguing aspect at the moment so i'm probably going to make that my starting point.
