Martin Beck says, “With a user base of one-third of the Internet-connected world, Facebook’s place as the largest social media platform remains unquestionable, but new research shows that the 10-year-old network is settling into slower growth mode.

In the last six months, Facebook grew more slowly than all the other major social networks, measured by either increases in members or active users, according to areport by Global Web Index.

Tumblr and Pinterest are the growth leaders, increasing their active users by 120% and 111%, respectively. Pinterest’s membership increased by 57% and Tumblr by 45%. By contrast Facebook added only 6% to its member base and 2% to its roster of active users, growth rates well below the rest of the social platforms studied, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Google+. Facebook’s photo sharing network Instagram, which was the fastest growing network in GWI’s report six months ago, fell to third in the latest results”.
