Big Surprise Department: Adolescent Attention Spans Ding Facebook
July 20, 2010
In the world of high technology and IT, sometimes the obvious gets overlooked for the sophisticated. According to two sources in an article called Why Many Teens Are Moving On From Facebook in emarketer.com, one fifth of the teenagers on the social networking site have lessened their using habits as of April.
That kind of information doesn’t bode well for a large portion of Facebook customers. Still, the ship might be sinking, but a little more slowly than other social media sites. MySpace has reported that 22% of teens had stopped using the service and Utube and Twitter has a 15% abandonment rate to speak of.
Still, this is more bad news for Facebook who have been hit with a series misfortunes lately that included some bad press. However, the experts don’t think all this has anything to do with the privacy issues that were raised in the spring of 2010.
