facebook losing teens, surprsing no one

Verge
article on Facebook and Tumblr

Thing I found most intriguing? This quote:

Part of Tumblr’s success is no doubt due to that fact that it’s a place
where you can cultivate two or more identities, whereas on Facebook you’re
stuck with just one: the real you. "It’s a site where you can find people
that are like you and you can feel less alone,"

Pretty much what we've all been doing on Livejournal for AGES now. :) But
everything old is new again. I wonder if this will be the pattern of the
Internet and social media from now on, the rise and fall for the desire to
separate your online identity from your real one.
