I'm in college - lots of my friends are losing interest in Facebook or dropping it altogether. Communication happens mostly through email, SMS, Groupme, Whatsapp, or Snapchat. Messenger is seen as a necessary evil.

Edit: People in college also love collecting "connections" on LinkedIn, although I've only heard of one person using it to land a job/internship.

It seems a very anecdotal topic. My uni uses it extensively, every society has a fb page that handles events, member feedback and general QA. It's been very successful imo.
