Wow. Since they just reached the 140 Million mark back on Dec 18th (or around) means that Facebook is growing at 500,000 new users per day. I am amazed at that rate of growth.

Some fascinating stats:

  • 500,000 new users per day
  • 13 Million users update their profiles once a day
  • 700 Million photos uploaded per month
  • 52,000 application using the Facebook platform
  • 2.6 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day (worldwide)
