That's not true. I'm pretty sure it would be topped by the nations of:
1) People that eat rice, 2) Those living below 1000ft altitude, and 3) People whose favorite color is either red or blue.
Oh, wait, those are all random collections of people that have nothing to do with "nations". My bad.
Also, it claims Facebook in 3rd at 500 million, US in 4th at 310 million; so it would have jumped into 3rd quite a while ago, making the country comparison even less relevent as a news claim. Is it really that hard just to say that Facebook now has 500 million users and leave it at that without making up a silly headline and graphic?

I am so happy I didn't have any professors so dense as to think that "coming together" on a social networking site had anything to do with the kind of "controlling one's destiny" that a nation-state provides. I'm hoping the guy was seriously misquoted.
