According to an article that Lee Bains recently wrote for switched.com, Facebook has lost roughly half a million users in the past few months. Interestingly, these users aren't recent college graduates - it's their parents. Bains, who cites data from insidefacebook.com, asserts that Baby Boomers are deactivating their Facebook accounts because "[they] are laying off the during-office-hours browsing [in an effort to retain their jobs]."
I find it interesting that while Facebook is losing users, Twitter seems to be flourishing.
