Don't write off teens and Facebook just yet. A report released by Forrester Research on June 24 showed the world's biggest social network is still by far the most popular among US teens despite the rise of new apps and services like Snapchat and Tumblr. Forrester's report was based on a survey of 4,517 US respondents between the ages of 12 and 17.
"The results were clear: Facebook remains young users' favourite social network. More than three-quarters of online youth use Facebook - twice as many as use Pinterest or Tumblr or Snapchat, and more than use Instagram and WhatApp combined," said Forrester analyst Nate Elliott.
"And 28 percent of young users who are on Facebook say they use it 'all the time,' a higher percentage than said this about any other social network."
Forrester began its research after Facebook and a number of analysts suggested that teens were falling out of love with the social network.
