Considering how many people there on the earth, factoring in the number of those with computers and sufficient internet access, I'd say new Facebook users per day is rather low.
- Retric 17y agoI got the opposite impression, I think their numbers are incorrect in the other direction. According to their numbers 5% of the global population is a member which IMO is insane. But, with a growth rate of 7mill members every day that would more than double by the end of the year. My guess, is they count many people several times to inflate their numbers. After all how can they tell a fake user from a real one on a free site.
- drawkbox 17y agoThere is probably a huge market for detection algorithms for a real person to a fake person. Facebook is also becoming a gaming platform, but the problem there is that users are given stuff for adding more friends. This has an effect on such games as Mafia Wars that people create numerous fake accounts to setup attacks and gain loot.
