Facebook use among US teens dips further

San Francisco

FACEBOOK Inc is getting less and less cool, at least among teens.

A report on Thursday by Frank N Magid Associates Inc found that the proportion of 13 to 17-year-old social media users in the US on Facebook slipped to 88 per cent this year from 94 per cent in 2013 and 95 per cent in 2012. In the same period, Twitter Inc and messaging applications rose in popularity in that age group, the study showed.
