Regarding my previous post, a new development has occured

Breaking news from "The Telegraaf":  Dutch youth, EU leader on Social Websites. 

Telegraaf says that our youth is leading the in EU on Social Websites such as Facebook. Yeah right, their information is based on Digital Agenda. But Digital Agenda never mentioned Facebook. Great news topic Telegraaf! And yes, Hyves is still the most succesfull social website in the Netherlands, but for how long?
And how long will it take before other countries to take over our leading role?  In my last post I mentioned that more and more people in the Netherlands are switching from Hyves to Facebook. The percentage of youth that is active on Social Media sites will therefore remain more or less equal. However this trend is accelerating and Hyves will lose a lot of its members. This will cause Hyvesmembers which are still active, to become bored because so many have already switched to Facebook. These people have to make the switch to Facebook or other Social Media, otherwise they will not use any Social Media again. The Netherlands will then of course, lose its leading role.
