Facebook deserted by millions of users in biggest markets
- mtgx 14y agoWhen you lose the core users/early adopter types (the ones that used Facebook the most since early on), it's only a matter of time before it spreads to the mainstream. The decline may be "hidden" in its early days, if Facebook keeps growing in new markets. But the trend remains. It's that happened to RIM, too. They were growing overall (globally) years after the iPhone came out, but losing users in its core markets, which meant it was only a matter of time before the same trend spread to the new markets, too, the ones recently conquered.
