Facebook No Longer Tops Among Teenagers

Twitter has overtaken Facebook as the social media network that is most important to teens, a new market research report has shown.

Twitter is the new king of teens, according to the report, with 26 percent naming it as their “most important” social site. Only 23 percent said Facebook was most important, down from a high of 42 percent.

But Twitter should not become complacent, the report suggests. That’s because Instagram has rocketed in popularity with teens.

23 percent said Facebook-owned Instagram was their No.1 choice, up from 12 percent a year ago.
