Twitter beat out Facebook in the battle for teenagers' affection. According to a recent survey, 26% of teens' favorite social network is Twitter.


Facebook and Instagram each captured the hearts of 23% of survey respondents. Clearly, Instagram's rising popularity among teens took a toll on both Twitter and Facebook's popularity; Facebook saw a 10% decrease in the survey since six months ago and Twitter saw a 4% decrease.



Statista's chart, which uses data from Piper Jaffray Companies, shows the changes in teens' favorite social networks among fall 2012, spring 2013 and fall 2013.
