Unfriended: Six Million Americans Fled Facebook Last Month

From GOOD:

Though the social networking behemoth continues creeping toward 700 million global users, six million Americans quit the site in the month of May. That’s the first time Facebook has lost U.S. users in over a year.

I have noticed a growing trend… And also:

What Facebook initially had going for it was exclusivity—it was for young Ivy Leaguers. Now that moms and grandmas are on it, it’s lost some of that early cachet.

For those of us who were on Facebook before it opened its doors to hordes of OMG/LOL-ing high-schoolers and their moms…we know this to be true.
