Check out the year-over-year change in Facebook's age demographics. Mom and grandma have crashed the party. In the last year, the overwhelming majority of Facebook's user growth was in the older-than-30 age bracket. In 2008, this group was a tiny fraction of Facebook's user base. Now it represents about half of the user population. The effects of this on the character of the Facebook social experience will be fascinating to watch. (Fascinating like a slow-motion train-wreck, if I had to guess.)This data was sourced from Facebook's public advertising front-end, and was compiled into chart-form by one of my coworkers.
