Facebook – a social network for the over 50s?

July 9, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

So, the over 55s are signing up to Facebook in droves (an increase of 500% in the last 6 months) possibly fueling the exodus of younger users. Ironic that a site that was initially built for college students is being taken over by ‘silver surfers’. This could be a very good thing for Facebook. Let’s face it, there are more older people in the world who are less fickle and have more money.

    They are signing up and creating profiles on Facebook itself. Not sure what apps they are using though…
