> I think this is interesting because it shows that Facebook isn’t really sucking that much worse than Instagram and that Instagram isn’t going to save Facebook on its own.

I think this is a stellar observation. Fb, right now, is only a dominant force for users of age 30+ and the battle for the next generation(s) is just starting out. Instagram does show the most significant growth but isn't a clear winner, yet.

FB is a dominant force for millennials and up, but Instagram is also really strong in the millennial group.

What was interesting was that none of the existing social networks had much of a presence with teenagers. I mean, if you’ve gotten less than 30% of teens to even create an account, are you even in the run?
