Facebook’s Usage – Impressive Growth
Currently at the Kelsey Conference in LA and had an enjoyable time listening to Chamath Palihapitiya, VP Product Marketing and Operations for Facebook. He was speaking about facebook and its product with respect to advertising – I am currently doing some testing and will have a future post on my findings with respect to their ad platform from a Canadian perspective.
Anyway, here were some of the stats regarding the growth of facebook.com that I found very interesting and impressive:
55 million active users (usage in the last 30-days)
250,000 new users a day
doubling every 6-months
over 50% of users are returning everyday
70+ billion page views per month
end of 2007 – 1 trillion page views per year
40+ page views per user per day
Popularity: 11% [?]
