A general observation.
I think it is pretty obvious that the highlights in Facebook differ accordingly to our age group.
At our early 20s,
The trend is rather active. You can see many of your friends playing stupid quizzes, addicted in some applications, shouting out and looking for food ingredients. Besides, many will shout and yell to complain about homeworks, assignments, tests and Monday. The latter applies especially to those who just started working, like me. =P
In terms of photos, it is not uncommon to see graduation/ convocation photos, trip photos, lover photos and outing-with-friends photos. All these are signs of youth. Active and energetic plus a little innocence, naive and wild sometimes.
At our late 20s,
The trend is getting slightly slower. Less quizzes, less active applications and less shouting outs. In terms of photos, maybe you will see a lot of wedding photos. Either you attend your friends' weddings, or it is your own wedding. Lolx. And now, you don't complain about assignments and reports, but maybe stabbing your boss for the infinite workload.
At our 30s,
The trend is even slower. Maybe you log in Facebook once a week, or twice a week, but not everyday or several times a day. Facebook to this group of people, is less significant as compared to those in early 20s or even late 20s perhaps. Now, people don't seem to upload pictures that often, even if they do, maybe you will see a lot of kids' pictures. *Happy family* Mother and child or father and child. Your good old friends might perhaps write something on your wall, something like:"Hey how are you nowadays? Busy changing diapers?" Lolx... Different stages of life.
At our 40s,
As I do not have any friend in my list who is 40 and above (besides my mom), it is relatively difficult to see the trend. But I think as we age, the significance of Facebook may be replaced by some other things, which have higher priority to us when we reach the age of 40s. Such as family, financial stability, health issues, career as well as children education. Somehow, you may even forget the password for Facebook. Lolx.
In marketing, this is called SEGMENTATION. People do different things at different ages. That is why we have plenty of products targeting different people of different age groups. Pretty interesting huh... ^^
