# 45% of Facebook's US audience is now 26 years old or older.
- The fastest growing segment in the US: Women over 55, up 175.3% in the last 120 days. Facebook growing faster with women than men in almost every age group.
At least one person attributed some of the growth to 25 things meme (see (e:lauren,47634) and (e:metalpeter,47564)).
Why now? Why facebook?
I much prefer estrip.
I really <3 your profile pic. :)
I am still not on facebook. I much prefer tangible friends like you all instead of accumulating random contacts all over the place and changing my current status a million time over the day - or is that myspace?
I have been meaning to do a post about this but I'm not sure what to say Fubar, (e:strip), Myspace, and Facebook are all different and I use them kinda differently. I think one of the reasons facebook is taking off is that the main thing it does is keep you updated on everyone else and what they are doing. See you can do that on myspace also but that isn't the main thing on myspace it really isn't. I just joined like a couple weeks ago. Facebook is where you are supposed to like keep in contact with people as opposed to like joining to keep up with bands. I also think that myspace being so commerical and having tie ins to date sites and fake profiles and accounts getting hacked has hurt it some.
