Face book: Serving More Than 160 Million People Worldwide

The most startling thing about Face book is the fact that everyone has been stampeding to be part of such a great social networking site – and by great, we mean no less than six hundred thousand users being added per day. With such a success at the helm of the social networking revolution, what could be said about the secret of Face book over other sites?

Impressive Statistics

The blog called Inside Face book was able to pose some very astonishing statistics when it comes to the growth of the site early this week. For one, the site Face book is said to be growing even faster than the population of the whole of China. All throughout this growth, the company that manages Face book was able to manage its own systems and keep it up and running while at the same time not suffering from growing pains.

This is the different thing that sets them apart from the other fast-growth startup companies in social networking. The blog Inside Face book is actually an independent blog and is not published by the original company as it is, but continues to report the latest news and statistics. Recently, it showed that the growth of the company has shockingly soared to a little more than six hundred thousand new users who have been signing up each and every day. This is a real jump from the average of around three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand per day just mere months in this year.

What These Astonishing Figures Are Indicative Of

Should Face book continue to grow at this kind of astonishing rate, it could very well add up around twenty million new members to its site by around the end of this year in December 2008. Furthermore, it could reach the two hundred million mark of active users by around March. This was the news reported by the editor of Inside Face book, Justin Smith. Such traffic measurement sites like Compete reveal that Face book is currently experiencing rapid closing on off MySpace thanks to its unique traffic.

This is also supported by other figures which show Face book growing around sixty nine point five percent for only this year, whilst the social networking site MySpace had actually decreased around fourteen point five percent this year. The remarkable thing, of course, is that the total of more than seventy percent of users of Face book are actually found outside the United States of America. The spokesperson of the social networking company, Brandee Barker, also says that such information may be attributed to the fact that there is a rise of foreign members of their program because of the translation options which they have added to Face book. This caused the increase in number of users.
