We recently ran a poll on whether Facebook.com should take the money and run, after reports its traffic had started to decline. 63% of Pilgrims believed (me included) CEO Mark Zuckerberg should take sell the company now, lest the value reduce even further.
What the heck do we know!?!
Hitwise has stats that show Facebook’s decline in traffic was just a seasonal blip, which happens each September as college kids focus on their return to school. As the chart below demonstrates, Facebook is as healthy as ever.
Hat’s off to Zuckerberg – he wins this round of brinkmanship!

While I had already graduated when Facebook became big (in 2004, whereas I graduated in ‘03), this makes complete sense. Interestingly enough, I don’t think it’s all about students getting acclimated to their new schedules: its traffic decline also corresponds with the brouhaha surrounding the news feeds, about which Mark Zuckerberg released an open letter to the community on September 8th.
