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.

In Response: I think she’s (author of the article) telling us that we “grown ups” ran off the teenagers on Facebook kinda like we did with MySpace? I am not really into the new social media platforms myself. However, if those platforms become popular enough where its profitable to be there, I will have to consider joining those too. I guess some adults that work in marketing like myself just see these sites as just another social marketing tool not just as place to socialize with friends lol
