I guess the ad dollars are chasing the younger crowd. I'm sure it will be pumped up around election time though.

I find Facebook annoying, however, I use Facebook cause of my elderly parents, some of my relatives, and some of my friends who is on Facebook and not on Twitter.

Replying to

I would actually be very happy if Facebook failed completely.

Replying to

I have never used facebook.
