WEAVERVILLE, NC – The social networking site, Facebook, is reported to have crossed the 500 million user mark on Monday. This networking site has surpassed all of its competitors, including the very popular Friendster social networking Website that is gaining in popularity in Asia.
Facebook was started in a Harvard dormitory six years ago and continues to grow daily. Each month, Facebook claims that over 30B photographs, links to other Websites, and news articles are shared on their platform.
I started my Facebook account over a year ago and I now have over 130 friends on Facebook. When I see those people with over 1,000 friends I have to wonder whether these are actually friends or just connections. How many of you reading this article know everyone who is a friend on your Facebook page? I would hazard a guess and say that probably only 10% are actually people you know rather than just people who asked to be your friend because you and s/he had mutual acquaintances.
In any event, Facebook continues to dominate the Social Networking arena. For more on this…visit the Facebook article on NYTimes.
