Wow Kevin sure does like Facebook:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailydot.com&#x2F;authors&#x2F;kevin-morris&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailydot.com&#x2F;authors&#x2F;kevin-morris&#x2F;</a><p>And the problem with that graph&#x2F;article is that it fails to consider the size of the user bases. Facebook is so huge that its demographic breakdown mirrors that of the real world. Whilst all the other sites have a fraction of the user base so obviously their graph will skew more towards the type of site they have.<p>Maybe there should be a graph of how many 0-20 year olds there are on Facebook versus the other sites.

The PRISM&#x2F;NSA blowout was the last straw to break this camel&#x27;s back. I&#x27;ve been growing dissatisfied with the constant urge to check Facebook&#x2F;Twitter&#x2F;G+ all the time, I&#x27;ve also been irked by how my <i>very personal</i> information, posts, and communications were being used to make money <i>for Facebook</i>.<p>There were many things I&#x27;ve said to people through Facebook that I actually wouldn&#x27;t like to have data-mined (no matter who&#x27;s doing it, Facebook, AdAgencyX, or the NSA).<p>While my Google searches, email, and other &quot;free&quot; services are still used in a similar capacity - I&#x27;m also working to switch off of those.<p>Leaving Facebook has been the best thing I&#x27;ve done so far. I feel lighter and less heavy with the urge to check it ALL the time.

I think this is a bit misleading. We&#x27;re drawing the conclusion from age based metrics that if a lot of young people use a service, relative to older adults, it must be &quot;hip&quot; or &quot;new.&quot;<p>Consider Disney.com. Nothing new or hip about it. I&#x27;d bet &gt;80% of the users are under 30.<p>I think this is a fairly incorrect assumption, and it feels like it&#x27;s being used to justify an opinion about Facebook here by undermining how &quot;cool&quot; and &quot;hip&quot; it is.<p>Just come out and say what you want to say. Facebook sucks, and there&#x27;s definitely nothing new about it anymore. I&#x27;ll do you a favor and not try to trick you into agreeing with my opinion by making misleading correlations between it and objective data. If you disagree with me, awesome, you&#x27;ve found something of value in Facebook. That&#x27;s great for you. I hate it. We&#x27;re different! :)

Teens are still using Facebook. It&#x27;s become a utility to stay in contact. It might be &#x27;cool&#x27; to say you&#x27;re not using it, but the reality (read: data) shows that they use it more than ever.

Hmm. The more interesting point is that nearly half of the Hacker News community is under 24.

I&#x27;m surprised to see how young deviantART users are considering the quality of its content. Since 2006, this site has been my goto location for anything graphic-related: drawings, web designs, pictures, Photoshop brushes and actions... Maybe 0-24 years old is the period when you&#x27;re the most creative?<p>About Facebook: it&#x27;s a website where you <i>build</i> your network, especially with family and close friends. Although I don&#x27;t visit it anymore, I know my friends and family use it solely to follow each other&#x27;s lives (&#x27;What have you been up to?&#x27;), while sharing theirs as well. It&#x27;s not a one-time visit. You follow the evolution of your relations&#x27; lives, especially the major events of a lifetime: marriage and children. Facebook is the network where people go to develop and share their <i>real</i> identity (whether it&#x27;s a good decision or not). The more you use it, the more you feel connected to it (and compelled to make a contribution). That&#x27;s why most Facebook users who joined it at the age of 25-35 are now in their mid-life, because Facebook is the only online network they&#x27;re part of.

My parents are on FB, LinkedIn, and tumblr. If they show up on Reddit, I&#x27;m quitting the internet.

Emails are getting old. That doesn&#x27;t mean anything.

While I agree that it&#x27;s old now, and not as trendy as other things, Facebook has become so widely used that being old isn&#x27;t an issue. For me it&#x27;s become a social tool, just like email has become a communications tool. It&#x27;s not going away, nor do I need it to be replaced by something trendy.

The Problem with Facebook right now, at least for me is that it is getting very boring. Nothing seems happens on it. Only very few posts appear and I think it is because they only show you your &quot;closest friends&quot; or people you have stalked etc or I don&#x27;t know what parameters they use. Even if I sort by &quot;more recent&quot; only very few posts appear. I have over 950 friends. I used to wake up in the morning and login into facebook just to see what my FB friends did over the night or what happened with my friends in other continents. Now it takes me 5 minutes to be up to date. Besides, everytime I login I have to read again the same old posts (Even from the they day before). I don&#x27;t know why facebook judges that I have too see that same post again and again everytime I login. WTF Facebook.

What&#x27;s the point of this article? Sometimes it isn&#x27;t about being cool, it&#x27;s about being really useful to a ton of people. Driving a car isn&#x27;t &quot;hip&quot; or &quot;cool&quot; (unless you&#x27;re driving a Tesla) but it sure as hell eases the lives of hundreds of millions of people.<p>Facebook&#x27;s mission isn&#x27;t to be a &quot;cool hangout&quot; place, it&#x27;s to make the world more open and connected. If they developed their product in such a way that it was only used by younger folk then they&#x27;d be excluding 75% of the population which is not connecting the world.<p>I&#x27;m really sick of these articles.

Reminds me of that old saying, &quot;Every empire carries within it the seeds of its own destruction.&quot;<p>People usually refer to network effects as positive, but eventually it becomes negative. Facebook, Eternal September, etc.

I think mixing of people from different social circle is going to happen to any social network which aims to be the default communication tool for the whole of earth. What I am pissed off more about Facebook is the loads of advertisements which keep showing up in my feed. That I find to be unacceptable. There have got to be other business models.

I think there is something to the idea of generational mixing on Facebook causing a loss of value. A friend today posted a picture of a cat with its tail in the air where the &quot;view&quot; looked like Jesus. His mother then promptly commented how not funny it was. Facebook with your parents on it is a different world than it used to be.

Ive used facebook about 6 months after launch...and in the beginning it was an cool...but now its boring. Its like there was a party and all the cool people went home, and the only people still around are old people, families, and marketers...and the weird kid from high school

Wrong title. Facebook IS old. For a lot of us. Teens are still on there heavily, but the transition to mobile is bigger than ever. Teens are heavily on mobile, rarely on a browser.<p>FB is also full of maybe 200M+ fake accounts (if we&#x27;re saying 1.1B total) - I created a few accounts for testing purposes, research, etc. and added well over 100 users per account = 99% fake.<p>What&#x27;s strange is how FB is still the premier social network when the life cycle of these things is usually shorter... They have a big user base so that helps, but something is just around the corner. They&#x27;ll still be around, but teens, kids, etc. will transition. Such as the state of the Internets

It would be interesting to see the age data for services like SnapChat and Instagram (maybe this was included in FB&#x27;s age range).
