i believe that the statistics are somewhat inaccurate and therefore misleading. technically there are multiple things that could skew the results, none of which necessarily have to do with users not liking facebook or seeking alternatives, though it makes a catchy title.
1. a user could register for as many fb accounts as he/she has emails. i personally have 2 facebook accounts, the reason is because i forgot that i registered an account, not necessarily because of my alter ego, he's quite passive and doesn't like fb.
2. users that pass away
3. users that move beyond a certain age range
4. pages that don't represent individuals, like brands or groups, those could dissolve.
i don't think this data really says much of anything about the facebook phenomenon other than the fact that there are some adjustments in the total number of accounts, perhaps for the better as the dirty are purged into oblivion.
a more interesting statistic would be how much freaking revenue they're making.
