[QUOTE=floridaorange;1144695]Instagram and vine is what the kidlets use these days... or else the label that paid these 5 kids collectively $50,000 for posting videos on their instagram and vine of this music video I worked on recently would have been for nothing. but none of them used fb. Even the music group from the video only had 3,000 followers on FB, but tours the world and has a tone of teenage fans.[/QUOTE] Anecdotal :)

Reality is for those.... Is a great album name btw. It's unique and makes you think. And the tunes are dreamy and many ppl here live his subsequent mixes since this album/tangeant.

I like Didi because she's one of the few ppl I've encountered who like to argue pointless topics more than I do. :lol:

Not really, most of the stuff I come across for work indicates teens aren't using facebook either. Like you said facebook was built by college kids and most of them are now older and in the workforce. facebook is no longer 'cool' when their parents are on it too. They're supposedly leaving Twitter too. If what I read are to be believed they're on Snapchat, Vine, Instagram. I see a lot of activity on Tumblr too. Facebook like MS might have a lot of registered users but active users are a small percentage.

I imagine when facebook came out it was new and different like an empty wall that people could tag and graffiti. But while its functionalities are the same its usage has evolved, it now feels more like a school notice board littered with spam, it's more functional than fun or sexy.

It's most likely why [URL="http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/04/11/ten-reasons-why-facebook-bought-instagram/"]facebook bought Instagram for $1b[/URL] and launched chat apps like Slingshot (Snapchat clone) and [URL="http://venturebeat.com/2014/10/23/facebook-launches-rooms-for-ios-its-first-anonymous-app/"]Rooms ([I]anonymous[/I] chatting)[/URL]—to capture that younger market share.

This is a problem every mature brand faces, even LEGO: You'd think it's ubiquitous and people would use it but it too faces challenges from newer shinier objects like gaming consoles, TV, mobile gaming and smart toys.

Re: ello

Can't be bothered to read through three pages of posts.

Is anyone using it? And is it that much/if at all better?

Resort to? Intention was to appreciate your intelligence, otherwise, why would I keep discussing things with you if I didn't enjoy it? Actually hoped you'd find the comment funny, my bad... clumsy of me.

Yes, I did watch it, up until about 53 min then I had no more time to devote (it was a bit long), but I didn't see anything alarming; it was very, very interesting... "a mashup of culture & commerce," " the consumer is the marketer".... so? Maybe the bad part of it all was described at the end.

"Currency of Likes' is also on Twitter and Youtube, so that's not mainly a FB phenomenon with teenagers. [COLOR=#ffd700]Teens here are mainly on Twitter, Youtube, and Vine these days.... that's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.[/COLOR] :D However, not of great importance at all to keep discussing it.
