Facebook, Twitter trends with teens

Facebook Trends and Teens

Teens still love Facebook as their favourite social network. According to a recent study by Piper Jaffray, 33 percent of the 5,200 teens surveyed choose Facebook as their most significant social network.

 

Following in the rear, Twitter has 30 percent of the vote, while 17 percent of teens say that Instagram is the most essential social network.

What’s prominent, however, is that interest in Facebook seems to be declining greatly among teens. Though teens still christen Facebook their most important social network, Piper Jaffray rumor that the numbers are down concerning how many teens see Facebook as the most important social media website.

Over the past year, the number of teens who consider Facebook as the most important social media site has dropped from more than 30 percent to just over 20 percent. But it’s not just about Facebook. Almost all social media sites have either seen a decline or dormantness in their importance to the teen demographics.

YouTube may seize Facebook soon as the most important social media site, though it too has shown a decline in importance. As it is right now, YouTube also has around 22 percent of the vote, but seem to be waning at a much slower tempo.

Both Instagram and Twitter demonstrate burly growth, particularly this spring as kids get ready for summer.

But in proper teenage style, the survey group of 5,200 teens made sure to note their preferred social media tackles that were excluded from the list. According to the PJC study, teens are intrigued by Wanelo, Vine, Snapchat, Kik, and 4chan, in that sort.

Vine has only been around for a few months, but has already risen to number 1 in the App Store. Snapchat is also a no-brainer, making an allowance for that teens make up the preponderance of a demographic that sends over 20 million snaps per day.

Just as much as Twitter poses a intimidation, so too do these up-and-coming social apps that have taken teens by storm.

However, Facebook Home may establish useful as teens’ interest wanes. Not only will it give Facebook impending into which apps to look out for, as it monitors when and how often users launch apps, but it will put Facebook in front of users at a much more enveloping level.
