The number of third party sites that data mine from Facebook is incredible. Signing up to Facebook and even revealing some of the smallest details about your past opens up a whole window of opportunity for those looking to profit off of you...

Where you mentioned teens reminded me of something I read recently:

Facebook has, imo, had a surprisingly long run...but like almost every internet social related technology, people get tired/bored/upset with that platform and seek a "newer" and "cooler" place....even moreso with the younger demo. Now that Facebook is densely populated, and I'm guessing the primary user is now an adult female, it is no longer "cool".

I think Facebook jumped the shark about 6 months before they went public and issued their stock...and that was clearly a brilliant move at the time...to esssentially "cash in" while the getting is good and get some fools to invest to keep you afloat so the decline is gradual.

MOST adult females are turning to (sp?) Pintrest or something like that ....at least that's what my wife tells me.
