Snapchat may overtake Facebook in US







Photo-sharing app Snapchat is expected to overtake Facebook for the first time in the US, as the user growth of Facebook will slow among teens and adults, market research firm eMarketer has said.

Snapchat is forecast to overtake both Instagram and Facebook in terms of total users aged 12 to 17 and 18 to 24 for the first time in 2017, that will shoot up Snapchat’s share of US social network users to 40.8 percent.

The a decline in user growth will also impact Facebook’s ad revenues as the the company tries to make the platform an attractive destination for the advertisers by boasting about its young users.

Facebook reported nearly $9.2 billion in ad revenue in the second quarter of 2017, a rise of 47 percent from the same period last year.

“We see teens and tweens migrating to Snapchat and Instagram. Both platforms have found success with this demographic since they are more aligned with how they communicate-that is, using visual content.

“Outside of those who have already left, teens and tweens remaining on Facebook seem to be less engaged-logging in less frequently and spending less time on the the platform,” said Oscar Orozco, a senior forecasting analyst at eMarketer.

According to the market research firm, Facebook’s loss of monthly users between the ages of 12 and 17 will accelerate to 3.4 percent this year compared to a 1.2 percent drop in 2016.

eMarketer also predicted that Facebook-owned Instagram is expected to post growth of 23.8 percent this year. Its monthly users under 12 years age are also expected to increase 19 percent, and those in the age group of 12-to-17 to 8.8 per cent.

  1. This is how my pal Wesley Virgin's tale begins with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get everything they want.

    As it turns out, these are the EXACT same SECRETS lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and famous.

    You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this thought has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years back, while riding an unregistered, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and with $3 on his banking card.

    "I'm very frustrated with living check to check! When will I become successful?"

    You've been a part of those those types of questions, ain't it right?

    Your very own success story is waiting to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
