Facebook 'dead and buried'
“What we’ve learned from working with 16-18 year olds in the UK is that Facebook is not just on the slide, it is basically dead and buried.”
Gee, does that mean all the 'like us on Facebook' pop-ups will finally start to go away?

If there were "don't like" buttons it would likely amount to a DOS attack. :)

Some interesting points:
- "Teenagers are ... switching to simpler social networks and messaging apps, new research has found. " So simple texting related apps are Back to Basics. Maybe it's a pity ICQ couldn't have found a way to reclaim their glory. Whatsapp is basically non-SMS texting.
- "even the teenagers that took part in the study admitted that Facebook is technically better than its rivals. ... It is more integrated, ... and more effective for observing people’s relationships."
Who observes their own relationships?! "Observing" is just the fancy word for surveillance!

Even though it says that teenagers aren't really concerned with privacy... I think that's a fallacy. Depending on how you ask it- no, they don't care. But why then are things like snapchat all the rage (if you don't know what it is, you send someone an image, and they have 10 seconds(?) to look at it before it's deleted).
They might not be concerned with the NSA... but they're definitely concerned with parents and leaving evidence...
