I believe half is even optimistic. I'd venture a gamble that at most 25% are unique and original people. Even my non technical friends often have 2-4 accounts.

I believe half is even optimistic. I'd venture a gamble that at most 25% are unique and original people. Even my non technical friends often have 2-4 accounts. For work, for friends, for forgotten passwords, etc... And then of course bots and bots and bots. Of course it depends on how they define a user and an account. If I logon only 1 of my accounts in a given month or 10. Do they count as 1 or 10 in either case?

Anecdote rebuttal to an anecdote: None of my personal friends have more than one account on facebook. Facebook estimates than 10% of the accounts are duplicates [0], so that wouldn't match with most people (~50%?) having 2 to 4 accounts.

    >none of my personal friends have more than zero facebook accounts There's no way this is true

      It could be trivially true for someone with zero personal friends :D

      It can be true, I think we get used to the idea that most people are connected but if you have friends over the age of, say, 60 it's fairly common for them not have internet access. In the UK, at least?

      Why not? In my friend circle only one guy has a facebook account, he created it to talk to a girl he met and i don't think he uses it anymore or even deleted it. Not sure why that's so unbelievable.
