My co-workers (all in their 40's-50's) have recently gotten into Facebook- they were just having a discussion yesterday on how much they love the FB quizzes. These are the same ladies who I had to practically force to join FB a few months ago per our employer's request.

What's funny is my boyfriend is experiencing some FB woes with his mommy. He's 25 and can't get away from her FB questions, updates, quiz results, etc (she is on there pretty much all day). As he put it, “She's taken away any fun Facebook would ever provide” and avoids the site at all costs. He's a huge Twitter nut and is crossing his fingers that she doesn't find that interesting.

Probably not a coincidence that the youngsters don't want to share their online domain with their parents, grandparents or any potential buzzkills :)
