Somebody will say "it's not as popular with kids anymore since it got taken over by grown-ups".
It's hard to see how they figure that, frankly. Facebook is heading up for its 10th anniversary. As we all know, the original core audience was college students.
So, let's see... 18 - 22 then, plus nine years, makes the original users 27 - 31 now. Of course, the original users also included people older than 22 at the time, and they're all correspondingly older now.
Teens today probably do think there are too many adults on Facebook... but it's not because new users are so much older than they used to be.
I hesitate to suggest this in the comments of any article, though. It might make people think on how old they're getting.
