> by 2008, Facebook had pretty much everybody, including grandparents, as a user. Not in my circles... Facebook didn't even begin to pop up on my radar until 2009. Social media adoption is extremely dependent on where you live and what type of people you know. Generalizations based on personal observation are invariably going to be wrong. To add some actual data to this: in February 2009, Facebook had recently surpassed 175 million users[1]. It's now got a billion. So 2008 is definitely too early to place your "pretty much everybody" statement.
