Facebook comes of Business Age!

Wow if this analysis from Istrategy is even half on target this is some very interesting statistics regarding the changing demographics of Facebook and regional growth.

Stan Schroeder of Mashable has done a nice article on this interesting phenomenon regarding the changing demographics of Facebook. This is particularly interesting in contrast to all the press recently on the Baby Boomers exiting Facebook.

513% growth in membership on Facebook in the 55+ age sector. so that’s how my Grandmother knows what is going on in my life.
142% growth in membership on Facebook in the Atlanta region. As a Southern Boy now, I find that growth very interesting. Not sure why it is happening but very interested in understanding how to get better at conversing with people in the Atlanta region.

All said and done, we can probably extrapolate all kinds of interesting data from this and will ponder this information. But what does it mean to you. Let me know I am curious to see what your thoughts are.
