Facebook was the phenomenon that dragged our social lives into the computer age. It was the idea that would eventually conquer the planet, destined to manage the connections between you and almost everyone you know.
But it appears that the world's most popular social network is beginning to lose millions of the friends that it had once gained so rapidly.
Figures released yesterday suggest that an exodus from Facebook may have begun in the United States, Britain and Canada, countries where the seven-year-old site was first taken up.
The suggestion is that long-time users are starting to suffer from "Facebook fatigue", having grown tired after years of using the site. The research indicates that, although Facebook continues to move towards 700 million users worldwide, the rate of growth has slowed for the second month in a row.
And just as people are tiring of Facebook. More employers encouraging Facebook at work
