Facebook statistics

Facebook is kicking up a storm right now, and really seems to be breaking into the mainstream with lots of non college/ University users joining up and the existing users becoming more and more locked in. With the launch of all the facebook platform tools allowing applications to be build on top of the site's architecture there's a good chance of facebook moving way beyond social networking to become a real technology behemoth like Google or Microsoft.   If you're doing research on facebook or have to convince your boss its a big deal here's some facebook statistics for you:

• 25m users, growing 3% per week, which is 100,000 new users per day (up from 7.5m users in July 2007), projected to reach 50m by end of 2007
  
• The fastest growing demographic is the 25 and over age group
• 1% of all time spent on the internet is facebook
  
• 50% of registered users come back to the site every day.
• 60 billion page views per month, 50 pages per user every day
• 6th most trafficked site in the U.S
• 1 bn photos hosted on the site, 6m uploaded each deay, 70k photos served per second, making facebook the biggest photo sharing site on the web
• 1-2 m people are on facebook simultaneously at any one time
• $100m per year advertising deal with Microsoft
• Internal valuation of $8bn, based on projected revenues of $1bn p.a. by 2015

The cascade effect is starting to kick in heavily, with increasing numbers of Brits bulk uploading their Outlook or LinkedIn contacts into Facebook.

I started a Facebook profile before it opened up, with an e-mail address from my US uni, just for research and now I’m getting friend request all the time – significantly, many from people that I haven’t seen for years.

Completely agree that it’s showing all the characteristics of explosive growth and if they handle the tools + widgets + third-party relationships right, could easily be worth more than what Zuckerberg’s been offered so far...

I already know Facebook is a big deal. I live on it! But thanks for the stats. As an account manager I always need helpful stats to make up for my waffly arguements...

Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from http://www.widgetmate.com/news I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.

A different view of the stats for the APPs on facebook are here (http://apprap.blogspot.com/2007/06/facebook-stats-fastest-growing-apps.html)

which shows the top 101 by growth rate over a 5 day period.
