 CHARLOTTE, N.C. —  Today’s jaw-dropping Princeton research report predicting that the beloved social media site Facebook will lose 80 percent of its users by 2015-2017 is no news to teens, who are flocking to new social media apps like Hang w/ for the fresh, cool factor and a friendlier environment.

Live streaming and simultaneous chat application Hang w/, which recently hit 1 million downloads after just nine months since its launch, is attracting young users who crave its authenticity and spontaneity.   The app has also gained favor with celebs from 50 Cent and Lucy Hale to Paula Abdul and Jamie Kennedy who can talk live to fans anytime, uncensored.

I spoke with CEO and Founder Andrew Maltin to discuss his new technology.
