Is Facebook in need of a Facelift?What is happening to Facebook?
Recent studies are showing that Facebook is beginning to lose it’s college student crowd, but only to be gaining a much older crowd in replace of them. Last month alone…users between the ages of 18-25 decreased by nearly 600,000 (3%) while their parents and even grandparents have been hitting record numbers…WOW!
Why is this happening? What is Facebook doing to drive their target audience away…or not doing for them to stay?
Is Facebook in need of a Facelift?
Within the last month…the number for Facebook users between the ages of 35-65 has grown tremendously…close to 5 million new users. Is Facebook losing the interest of it’s younger population to the middle and older ages?
I’ve been doing research myself on this topic to find out what Facebook is lacking and why so many users are beginning to lose interest. I’ve asked users what features for Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace are missing that they would like to see implemented in either the current social networks or possibly a new social network? Many of the responses were pretty interesting:
“I want to be able to have private chats and group chats with my friends online”
“I wish you could personalize your page a bit more”
“Being able to have a personal blog would be nice”
“I hate those dumb quizzes they’ve come out with”
“I just wanna see something new”
A lot of people were saying the same things…in terms of what they would like to see from the current social networks…or in some cases…a new one.
What do you think?
