The chart shows a huge jump in "Other," from 4% to 17% in just six months. I wish they explained that. Vine?

Yeah I imagine vine and snapchat are the two biggest growth social networks.

I find Silicon Valley's obsession with teens fascinating. Why is teen usage a benchmark for the health of a startup?

Do teenagers spend money online? Is there any research on that?

Teens represent the near future. They'll grow up and maybe carry their allegiances forward.

Tried to signup for facebook several times today and it kept asking for my phone number. I wonder if teens are less willing to go through that hassle.

Compare that to twitter's new onboarding experience, which is (arguably) very well done.

Um, since Instagram is Facebook, by my estimate Facebook owns 46% of that graph and is still most popular by a long-shot.
