Facebook.com, being the second most used website worldwide according to Alexa.com (#1 being Google.com), is the largest aggregation of people in a social context. Launched in 2004, Facebook has grown tremendously over 7 years reaching a monetary valuation of over 50 billion USD! While the number of users, pages and pieces of content on Facebook is as static as light, here’s a snapshot from the Facebook Statistics page.

60 Countries in which Facebook is accessed via mobile devices
70 Languages in which Facebook can be officially translated
80 Pages to which each Facebook user is connected
80 Most popular websites out of 100 use Facebook integration
90 Pieces of content (images, videos, text) generated by each Facebook user every month
130 Friends each Facebook user has
190 Countries where Facebook is used by Entrepreneurs and Developers
200 Mobile operators supporting Facebook usage globally
10000 New websites integrating Facebook each day
300000 Users helped translate Facebook into other languages
2500000 Websites have integrated with Facebook
20000000 Facebook Apps installed each day
250000000 People using Facebook outside Facebook.com
250000000 People using Facebook on their mobile devices
375000000 People log into Facebook each day
525000000 Facebook users outside the US
750000000 Active Facebook Users as of July 2011
900000000 Pages, Groups, Events etc. on Facebook
30000000000 Pieces of content (links, stories, blog posts, notes, photos etc.) shared on Facebook each month
700000000000 Minutes spent by people on Facebook each month

*The number of users mentioned in the statistics is the number of active user accounts. The actual number of distinct people using Facebook, though not drastically different, would be lower since one person may have multiple Facebook accounts (1 for personal use, 1 or more for websites/blogs/business etc.).

I currently have 2 Facebook user accounts. How about you? Why do you use Facebook? Please share your thoughts below!

I agree with you Samir, it might seems entirely difficult to swithc from fb to g+ but the issue stands out clear, with the introduction of g+ many have shared the good news. likewise i am not advising a change frm fb to g+ but to way the statue of your business and concentrate on one.

Very impressive stats, which is why Google+ will have to work hard to take FB out of the social network game.

Samir

Indeed. Though I am among the early testers for most internet-related technologies and inventions, I find it unlikely to entirely switch from FB to G+ right now.

I have my 3 accounts in facebook, 1 is for personal use and other 2 is for business. No doubts facebook is very useful in internet marketing.

I'm no big fan of facebook because of privacy concerns and i wanted to keep a low online profile, at least as an individual. However all of my friends and associates are there, so I really have no choice. I don't wanna be left out of news & gossip :)

I think I'll like Google+ more, based on raves about it. Can't wait to get in!

Khan@supercuts

The main attractive feature of facebbok is that it is supporting multilingual environment.

Nawaz@fred meyers jewelers

facebook is a huge socail network.I think there is no alternative of facebook. Facebook team is always busy to face its competitors.This statistical and quantitative summary is enough to create interest of new user towards facebook.

Smith@steam cabin

You have presented an anatomy of facebook but Google + is becoming more popular and user feel secure on Google +.

Well right now Google+ is too small to be compared to FB...so I'll have to wait a few months at least before posting major stats about G+!
I do like the simple yet efficient interface of Google+ though :)

Wow pretty daunting, but I imagine these statistics are likely to at the very least, quadruple if Zuckerberg succeeds in landing Facebook in China !

You bet! China is after all the largest country both in terms of number of internet users and raw population!

Facebook would be such a heavily censored and stripped down version of itself, I think it's success would be minimal due to the constraints on free communication. Personally, I have read and seen about the bloggers who speak to candidly and are silenced imagine people afraid to speak their mind about an issue and share it with friends/peer's in Facebook.
