Related News: Where Teens Go Instead of Facebook (and Why You Should Too)

Posted on June 26, 2013 by ACFI

One new article link has been added to our Related News page. Yahoo! News published an article titled Where Teens Go Instead of Facebook (and Why You Should Too).

Remember a few years back, when teenagers left MySpace in droves for this new thing called Facebook? Grown-ups soon followed suit (not that they were ever much on MySpace), and joined Facebook by the hundreds of millions – which made it far less cool for their kids. So where on the Web are teens going now, and what can you learn from them?

A recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 94% of American teens still have a Facebook account, but they’re using it less, and using it more carefully. More than half have tightened down their privacy settings and regularly delete or edit previous posts.
