From The Wired Carmpus, Feb. 25, 2008: 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.
