Facebook is crazy. Next move, they should come out with their own OS. They are capable and big enough.
Good stats on Facebook Zac.
The women pics that are Tagged 2x more then Men does not surprise me one bit:) Guys love checking out women on social networking sites.
Facebook is really gaining momentum in Brazil which is a little surprising to me because their Facebook was hi5 for years.
I also read somewhere that Facebook just built a big location in Europe I believe it was somewhere in Sweden but I could be wrong on the location.
Facebook is becoming a bigger Beast then it already was.
My recent post WordPress E-commerce Store Theme For Amazon Affiliates That Can Really Crank Out The Cash!
I've always had a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I love everything it has to offer a business. It's the largest active marketplace on the planet, unlimited customers, and their wallets are at your finger tips. So what more could a business owner possibly ask for??? Well I'll tell you. They can stop changing their site layout and guidelines every 3rd month! Lol. I understand it's all for improved functionality and user experience, and in the long run each time they do it it's for the best. But each time they do it it also slows our progress with our businesses and sets us back while we relearn new ways to do many things that were already working just fine. Wouldn't it be nice if they just piled up all the updates and gave Facebook a "Facelift" like once every two years? It sure would make my life a lot easier. But I'll still gladly take things the way they are as opposed to having no Facebook at all!
Wow

Zac, those are startling stats and some fun trivia. I think Facebook will cover the World like a virus. I am starting to spend more time on the site.
They are growing because the more people on the site the more people will join. There is a large untapped market out there. Great stats.
