Hi all, I heard on the news the other day that Facebook is claiming it has 1 billion users , this means one in seven people, I find this hard to believe considering the amount of people that are starving or in aged care or those who are very young or the illiterate or those that have no access to the Internet due to location or many other reasons. Am I the only non believer ? Is this possible or is it an attempt to sure up there falling stock prices?
It does not surprise me in the least that one billion separate logins and / or registrations have taken place.
Think about it. About 300,000,000 Chinese live in their big cities. About the same number of people in India. Then there is Western Europe with over 400,000,000 people to say nothing of the big cities in South and Central America.
Whether there are one billion steady users, that is a different question.
