The article neglects that facebook is always looking to expand its feature set, with things like email (on top of existing chat) and music [1].

Also neglected are statistics pertaining to new account activations and account reactivations (secondary and post-secondary students make up a giant portion of the user base, and many make it a habit to deactivate temporarily during exam time).

This article just feels overly sensational, giving no credence to counter-arguments.
