On Facebook, a growing teenage wasteland - CNN.com

On Facebook, a growing teenage wasteland - CNN.com: (CNN) -- Nicole Uvieghara is only 18, but that's old enough to remember the good old days on Facebook.

"I used to log in to Facebook every day," said Uvieghara, a Murrieta, California, native and freshman at Arizona State University. "Now, I go, like, once a week. On my news feed, I rarely see posts from my friends and I have not posted things on my wall in the past year."

Her experience isn't unusual. Teens are cooling on Facebook, a trend suggested by recent research and acknowledged, this week by Facebook itself. The shift was confirmed time and time again in e-mail and phone interviews with dozens of teens and their parents in CNN's reporting of this story.
