Is Facebook Getting Uncool for 18-24s?

In its early days, social-networking site Facebook was propelled to popularity by a college-age crowd that sought it out as an exclusive sanctuary in which to connect with their peers. For that market, it was an attractive alternative to sites deemed to have lost their cool — like MySpace, which had become a haven for pre-teens and high schoolers.
