If you know what’s good for you, you’ll delete those keg-stand pics and put that pink-panties frat-party album on “private.” While Facebook used to be a safe-haven for teens behaving badly, a dark menacing army has infiltrated it’s way into the bowels of Facebook, slowly taking over the social networking site. Their numbers are huge, and their will is strong. Yes my young friends, beware of threatening parentals who are seeking to destroy all that is co-ed in our beloved Facebook.
In the last few months, this older crowd has been taking to the social at a faster rate than any other age demographic. While they benevolently claim it’s to more efficiently stay in tune with the lives of children and grandchildren, we all know deep down that the real reason is to keep an eye out for shenanigans that their offspring may be partaking in. Currently there are now about 1.5 million female users older than 55 on the social site, which roughly translates to a 550% increase over six months ago (and we’re going to assume that only a small fraction of those women are cougars purely out on the prowl). Growth in the same period for the under 25 crew was only up a tinsy 20%. If this trend continues, Facebook life as we know it is sure to cease. This may be a good time to point out the site’s privacy features, which can be found here.
