Facebook Fatigue

The social networking site Facebook may be on the decline, according to this TechCrunch article.  Over the last few months, the article says, the number of Facebook users in the United States has leveled off, and even dropped in January of this year.  The decline may have been caused by friend spam, or the staggering amount of applications that have been recently created.  Also, Facebook used to be available only to college students, but it has recently been made available to anybody.  This has caused a minor backlash in use among college students, who are fine sharing personal photos and information with their peers but not with people much older or younger.  Worldwide, however, Facebook seems to be doing fine.
