The Graying of Facebook

So, now that grownups have jumped into Facebook, the number of college and high school users has declined.
The decline is pretty significant - 20% (college) and 15% (high school) in six months. That is according to a post on ReadWriteWeb which in turn references a study from istrategylabs that used estimates that Facebook itself provides to advertisers.
Facebook users aged 55 and over have gone from less than a million to nearly six million in that same six months. This IS your father's Facebook! That means there are more 55+ Facebook users than high school students.
How does this affect Facebook's business strategy? Do they start aiming for the 35 - 54 year old users who are now the biggest group on the site?
