Communications Major

The social network includes an option in the settings for displaying nicer-looking versions of the pictures you upload from your phone.

The aging of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and even Pinterest is more apparent than ever. More than 30% of teens have cited Instagram (owned by Facebook, btw) as their most important social network. Meanwhile, less than two-fifths of Facebook's adult users in the U.S. are in that ever-desirable 18- to 34-year-old demographic.

While Ello goes after Facebook 1.0, Facebook is on version 4.0, thinking about new things.”

The videos are a bit cheesy, but are potent reminders that for many of us, Facebook has become a very normal way to document our daily lives.

What if you are from the generation that "never loses touch" with its past? As Facebook turns 10, we are reminded that it was initally lauched to college students - and then high school students. For those of us who have used the service to reconnect with our pasts, here's an interesting take on never having the experience to naturally drift away. For a generation coming of age on the social network, their only way to cut ties has been to sever them with the "unfriend" button.

The social network that was started by a couple of Harvard students in 2004 turns 10. Here's a look back at how the site has changed...and changed the way we communicate.

Facebook turns 10 years old this week. Expect there to be several studies on the the world's largest social networking site. In addition to this study finding that most teens still use Facebook (various reports repeatedly try to indicate those in the 12- to 17-year-old group are drifting away from the site), other findings include average number of friends, differences in how men and women use the site, and that many so-called "non-users" (those without their own account) live with someone with an account and use that account to follow friends and family.

On average, 22 percent of Americans' Facebook friends are those we knew in high school. This is higher than any other group we have interacted with - work, college or family.

A new survey from Pew Internet, a research center, found that a majority of Facebook users took voluntary breaks from the site, citing boredom or concerns about privacy.

Think you have a pretty good idea of what's coming next in tech? Then you probably haven't talked to a teen recently. - What's what with Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, IMs and SnapChat.

It's hard to imagine the world without it -- but let's try....

When Facebook first launched 10 years ago—back when it was still called “Thefacebook”—there were no timelines, no videos, no notes, no “likes,” and there was no News Feed. In fact, there really wasn’t much to do except look at other people’s profiles. And you could poke people. Or, perhaps even...

Men self-censored more than women -- particularly if they had large numbers of male friends. And other stats on reported social media restraint.
