I wonder if they’re drawing their own conclusions from incomplete data. How much of the lack of interaction on the site is due to the user base not knowing how to use Facebook’s features? How much of it is due to the interactions taking place offline? I’m guessing that Facebook is only a piece of the puzzle in these people’s lives (and I deeply hope so).
