Just recently, Facebook has passed the 300 million user mark. This is already a remarkable feat for a social networking site which started as a college project in some university, right? But that number was so yesterday. Based on Facebook’s own advertising statistics, the number of Facebook users have now reached 325 million.The thing is, these userbase continues to grow at an alarming rate. Thanks perhaps to the slew of Facebook games that many have found to be amusing and entertaining. Plus of course the idea of encountering long lost friends and high-school buddies, and renewing old bonds.
Or can we attribute this growth to Facebook’s granular privacy settings and increasingly strict limitations?
If there’s any indication that this might true, just check out your old social networking site before you joined Facebook and see how deserted and lonely those sites are right now.
In my part of the world, Friendster was so BIG before. But now everyone seemed to have migrated to Facebook. It’s like Friendster just had an exodus of user, with most of the Friendster going to the “promised” land.
The question is, when will Facebook’s growth ever stopped?
