Facebook: Bigger Than Japan
Silicon Alley Insider —
Just a quick reminder: Facebook is huge and growing huger by the second. To wit:
The site just crossed 150 million monthly active users.
50 million of those users are new since the summer.
20 million are new since December 10.
75 million use the site every single day.
So much for all that "jumping the shark" business. Next stop: Wide implentation of Facebook Connect and then, maybe - just maybe! - real whopping revenues.

Mashable! —
Back in August 2008, Mark Zuckerberg posted on the official Facebook blog that Facebook had reached 100 million users.

This is huge; Facebook is growing incredibly fast, and at this pace it ...

Discovery, Navigation, and Collaboration - Hello Holy Grail - Facebook Is Soaring - They Will Be Huge - Trust Me
Furrier.org - John Furrier's Personal Blog —
... I am a big believer that Facebook’s massive growth is bigger than most people think. They are pushing a utility that delivers big time value. Over the past year I have been studying the utility of Facebook and can tell you that it’s not about just sharing and throwing sheep - It’s about people in a new paradigm. Facebook has the opportunity to take a very strong value proposition and evolve how users discover and navigate (the core principles of search) BUT more importantly they are in the exchange position of real value - actionable value transfer. Simply ...

I was just reading on CNET earlier today that Facebook has now reached 150 million active users worldwide . I'm pretty sure that a number of those who tipped the balance were people from my elementary and junior high schools that I was pretty sure I never wanted to hear from again, but they found me anyway. I'm only partially kidding, of course. I'm absolutely certain I never wanted to hear from them again, but they still keep sending those invites. I joked on Twitter earlier this afternoon that everyone needed to stop Tweeting and Facebooking and get their sorry ...
