Sorry, Facebook — but it's time to change our relationship status to "It's complicated." While the Home of the Poke still retains a billion-strong user base, people are starting to use it less, divvying up their interactions and uploads, and all kinds of apps and services benefit as Facebook's hotness fades.
It used to be that we used Facebook to schedule parties, trade phone numbers, find old classmates, keep in touch with distant family members, share photos and generally opine. Now there are other ways to share photos and thoughts — and to connect with one another. Tumblr, Instagram, Google+ Hangouts, WhatsApp, SnapChat and others are luring people away from the convenience of Facebook's one-stop shop.
Part of the reason may be, well, your mom.
