Facebook's IPO one of world's largest

16. Feel better after delivering gratuitous slam?

I posted my comments to illustrate my point - most teens that I can see (786 friends on my daughter's FB acct not that I'm following them ALL) arent using it much. She's got 18 cousins, the four oldest de-activated their accounts (29, 26, 23 and 18 yrs old), the youngest has never had one and uses Twitter and texting only (12 years old), the rest range in age from 13 - 17 and they are rarely on... maybe once/week, and one of those hasn't been on in more than 3 months. My daughter hasn't been on in 6 weeks. She uses Tumblr and Twitter however daily, and texts like mad - I would stipulate that most teens use texting FAR more.

I completely understand your point about keeping stuff private and how they can claim they don't have an account. I also understand they can "filter" their account so only designated people see activity (which most kids do so their parents CAN'T creep on them). I also realize my story is anecdotal.
