Facebook Is Still Passe
Erick Schonfeld from TechCrunch reported Friday that the four-year honeymoon period with Facebook just might be over.
He bases that assertion on statistics from comScore, a marketing research firm, along with a couple of quasi-descriptive line graphs.
The comScore statistics say that the number of unique visitors has hit a plateau over the last few months in the U.S., and has even dipped a bit in January by 800,000 users.
He goes on to say that Facebook continues to thrive in the rest of the world, where the number of unique visitors increased three percent.
Judging from some of the responses to the post, Martin Weller wasn’t too far off from the truth in some respects.—Hurley Goodall
