He compares to myspace. He is not talking about closing the website, but people loosing interest in it, progressively.

Let's face the facts, who's on facebook now ? Everybody's parents. It's not cool anymore.

So, where are people going now if not Facebook?  Only site I know.

Interesting you say that as my parents (and older relatives) are pretty much the only people I know not on Facebook. 

You're lucky. Facebook is the reason my parents know I smoke, and can check out who I hang out with, if they like the page "Legalize" etc

For other sites, there are twitter and instagram, but I'm not into these kind of stuff in general.

Then there are specific social networks, like deviantart.

But seriously, 35-50 years old are invading facebook.

there is a loop that goes this way in social networking, for the demographics :

Nerds -> Cool youngs -> Marketers -> Parents -> Nostalgic folks that come back once a year on the site, or a specific community (like music on myspace)

 

and the alternative route :

Nerds -> Google employees
