Facebook Hits 500 Million Users
According to USA Today, Facebook.com signed up its 500,000,000 member this week.
I know its a lot of zeros but Facebook.com now has 500 Million members.
For those keeping track that is up from about 100 million members just two years ago.
Facebook added 100 million new members since just February 2010.
On an average day 115 million “friendships” are confirmed, members post about 400,000 events.
About 70% of Facebook’s users now live outside of the United States, with the Middle East, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, India and Brazil becoming some of the fastest growing regions.
So based on USA Today’s figures if 70% of Facebook users live outside the US that means 30% of 500 Million, or 150 million live in the US.
As of 2009 the estimated population of the US is 309 million meaning that almost 1 out of every 2 people, that would be every man, woman and child as they always say has a FaceBook account.
Pretty impressive stuff.
