Parents holding Facebook back
Posted by Staff (07/30/2012 @ 3:04 pm)

Would you invite your parents to a party you’re having with your friends? Probably not, unless you’re maybe 35.
This reality helps explain why teens and college kids are spending less time on Facebook – their parents are there as well. This is obviously very bad for Facebook, which is having all sorts of problems since it went public.
I remember hearing teens I know tell me how they use Facebook less and have moved to new options like Twitter. They didn’t mention their parents, but the reason was obvious.
It’s not the only issue of course. Social media has made some teens much more careful about who they have around when they do stuff like smoke and drink, as everyone now has a camera on their phone. The times they are a changin’!!

Facebook’s IPO certainly netted a ton of money for Mark Zuckerberg and his fellow founders. Here’s a breakdown from the home page of CNBC.com.
What Are Their Shares Worth?
CNBC REAL-TIME WEALTH TRACKER
Mark Zuckerberg – $19,253,605,209
Dustin Moskovitz – $5,111,539,856
Sean Parker – $2,662,984,684
But the stop barely budged from its IPO price by the end of the day. It’s not exactly the home run some expected for day one of trading.

I like this story. It looks like Facebook will start promoting organ donation by enabling users to register through their Facebook profile. The results could be stunning.

The online dating landscape keeps evolving, and Facebook and other social media sites are often leading the way. The latest out of Facebook let’s you set up a notice system so you get notified when someone you are interested in changes their status and is no longer “taken.” This breakup notifier will likely be a very popular feature.
