Why Facebook is for old people

February 21st, 2009 § 0 comments

A great article from Time Magazine, explaining why Facebook’s greatest demographic is middle-aged people with kids … people like me. Two highlights from the article:

Facebook is for old people because

7. We have children. There is very little that old people enjoy more than forcing others to pay attention to pictures of their children. Facebook is the most efficient engine ever devised for this.

5. We’re lazy. We have jobs and children and houses and substance-abuse problems to deal with. At our age, we don’t want to do anything. What we want is to hear about other people doing things and then judge them for it. Which is what news feeds are for.

Read the rest. It’s great.
