Facebook no more

Despite growing stock values which some feel are being produced by inflated ad revenue projections, Facebook may be on the decline. The reason being that recent studies indicate that the key teenage demographic may be turning their backs on FB in favor of other sites. It was earlier this year that the company itself warned investors that their younger users are actively using other sites such as Twitter and and Tumblr. Well, research has now proved that warning true and also outlined some of the key reasons.

In a report compiled by Pew Research it would appear that the teen crowd is jumping ship in favor of sites that are more real and authentic. This used to be Facebook for many youngsters but the site has changed greatly and now the teens are getting irritated. The drama, watchful parents and the “too-old” adults are apparently driving the youngsters away to sites where these elements are less prevalent.

The younger crowd is favoring Twitter and Tumblr because they are essentially less social. They do not have to interact as much as they do on Facebook. Drama is a big issue for many who just don’t want to be part of the stresses and strains of other’s lives. Let’s face it, teens are really only worried about what’s going on in their own or their favorite celebs’ lives. So they don’t really want to watch drama unfold with their friends or family, I mean that’s just soooo embarrassing, right?
