That's an increase of 17 million, making them the most populous age group on Facebook, compared to the 18-34 bracket six months ago. The ultimate point is still the same: the folks with the purse strings are getting up on Facebook.

Personally, I get frustrated the amount of 'research' out there and the disparity in the results. The only really data that can be trusted comes from the providers themselves and even then they like to stay elusive so they don't get pigeon-holed by looking like a certain kind of community. No wonder CMO's keep falling on their swords. It depends on what data you hang your programs that determine how well they might work. Maybe there should be odds attached to research results so we know what's a long shot and what isn't ;-) <em>Frank Reed's last blog post..<a href='http://www.frankthinking.com/happy-4th-of-july-and-thank-you/' rel="nofollow">Happy 4th of July and THANK YOU!</a></em> Just a little while ago we talked about the sudden drop in the age group (May 28th post).

Seems like high school students just stopped saying they were in high school. I don't think this has anything to do with them leaving Facebook, and has everything to do with being less open about who they are to a world that is trying to exploit them and put their business out there for the world to scrutinize.

I wonder just how much can be put down to trends... not to mention that those who are 15-24 today may be 16-25 tomorrow... we don't get younger either. ;) but very interesting to see a jump in those over 55. <em>Robert's last blog post..<a href='http://barefoot-seo.blogspot.com/2009/07/whats-in-name.html' rel="nofollow">What's in a Name?</a></em> Could the lack of youth be due to Summer Holidays?
