PanARMENIAN.Net - Facebook and other leading social networks are becoming less important to teenagers, a recent study suggests, according to Digital Spy.

Research by PiperJaffray indicates that 10% of the demographic are less interested in the world's largest social network than they were one year ago.

Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Flickr and Tumblr also saw similar declines, with only digital pinboard service Pinterest seeing growth.

The 5,000 teenagers who took part in the survey were found to have a growing appreciation for web services including Vine, Wanelo, Snapchat, Kik and 4chan.

Services with detailed profile information such as MySpace and Facebook appear to be gaining less traction among teens, compared to those that have detailed newsfeeds and brief profiles.

However, the data was based only on sentiment rather than official usage stats.
