Staggering Facebook User Stats
I recently came across this post by Brian Solis outlining some ridiculous stats about Facebook users. They have clearly broken through the clouds, and should rightfully be considered a platform, rather than an application or destination. Beware people…its only gonna get worse 
So, here are the stats…buckle up!
General:
Facebook has more than 250 million users
120 million users log on to Facebook at least once each day
People 35 years old and older represent the fastest growing demographic
Engagement:
The average social graph equates to 120 friends
More than 5 billion minutes are spent on Facebook each day (worldwide)
30 million users update their statuses at least once each day
8 million users “fan” Fan Pages each day
Applications:
1 billion photos are uploaded to the social network each month
10 million videos are uploaded to Facebook each month
1 billion social objects (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.) shared each week
2.5 million events are created each month
45 million active user groups exist on Facebook
International:
About 70% of Facebook users are outside the United States
Platform:
More than one million developers from more than 180 countries are active
Every month, more than 70% of users engage with applications developed for the Facebook platform
There are more than 350,000 active applications currently available on the Facebook Platform
Over 200 applications maintain an active monthly user base of more than one million
15,000, and counting, websites, devices and applications have implemented Facebook Connect since its launch in December 2008

30 million users currently access Facebook through their mobile devices
People that use Facebook on their mobile devices are almost 50% more active on the social network than non-mobile users
