Facebook Recent Media Coverage, January 2010

Until recently, Facebook was a hangout for teenagers and college students, a place for favorite music and party pictures. Now some graduates students wish they could make those pictures go away, because Facebook has gone mainstream. Its growth has been stunning, leaving rivals like MySpace in the dust, and its most rapid growth is now in an older demographic. Facebook's user policies have stirred up some controversies along the way, though the users who say they will quit hardly ever do. Monetizing Facebook remains uncertain; advertisers are leery of user-generated content, though firms are starting to market themselves on Facebook in a big way. But social sites can go overnight from hot to not. Will teens abandon Facebook now that their parents have turned up at the party? Will a revenue stream develop? This TecTrends Reporter, which tracks citations to Facebook across a wide array of media coverage, keeps you up to date on what the tech and business press are saying about the Facebook phenomenon.
