It's “all over for Facebook?” according to the Daily Telegraph, noting that the early-adopter young are now abandoning the site as their elders move in.
As a consequence it’s seen as “uncool” according to a
research study conducted by Professor Daniel Miller of UCL: “Mostly they feel
embarrassed even to be associated with it.”
Now researchers at Princeton are predicting that FB will
lose 80% of its users by 2017, resulting in Facebook themselves, using the same
logic, saying that by 2021 Princeton will have no students. Hilarious!
Given that the flight of the young from the site, and its increasing
adoption by wrinklier folk, means that its age profile is shifting upwards, I
would imagine that Facebook’s management will be delighted to be able to sell
advertising space to folk with real disposable income.
