We have college kids and teens to thank for the Facebook revolution – but now they’re moving on.
While the majority of teens say they still have a Facebook account, they’re spending a lot more time on social media that isn’t cluttered up with parents like Facebook is. The new teen hotspots are:
• Snapchat: This is the go-to social spot for teens who don’t want to leave a footprint. Their interactions self-destruct in ten seconds or less. It’s almost impossible for parents to check.
• Pheed: This app allows users to create and share videos, photos and voice tracks, plus make live broadcasts and share posts of up to 420 characters. Take that Twitter.
• PicsArt: Typing is out – drawing and photo editing are in. The majority of users are between 13 and 24 years old.
• Tumblr: It’s been around for a while and has racked up a respectable 65 billion posts – the majority of which come from teenagers.
• Vine: No rambling lectures here. It’s perfect for kids with a short attention span or who would prefer to communicate via video in six seconds or less.
