When Facebook entered the scene it was a social networking site with a niche market targeted specifically to college and university students. You had to have a valid school email address in order to become a member. Facebook nixed that requirement and the sky became the limit. Users of all ages began to flock there as a way to stay connected. According to a 2010 demographics report created by istrategylabs.com, out of the approximately 103 million US Facebook users 64 million of them are between the ages of 25-55+. Facebook is no longer viewed as an online college dormitory; it is a valuable personal and professional networking source.
