Facebook just keeps growing (with grey hair)
Eric Eldon over at InsideFacebook.com has a great post outlining the growth trends at Facbook for January 2010. There are lots of pretty charts to look at, but I think the most interesting one is this:
Facebook Growth by Age and Gender (InsideFacebook.com)
It's getting harder and harder to dismiss Facebook as the domain of young people. Indeed, according to Eric's post, a full 60% of Facebook users are over 25. Some have suggested that the influx of older folks will drive the kids away and we'll see something new crop up for them - MySpace 2.0? For my money, this won't happen - at least not in the foreseeable future. The ubiquity of Facebook just makes things easier for everyone - if a little uncomfortable at times when you get a friend request from dear Aunt Agnes. Young Facebookers have figured out (mostly) how to manage these little inconveniences.
