Facebook Stories & Statistics: A Huge Impact

July 17, 2010 by

I am still in awe of the latest Facebook statistics:

  • More than 141 million unique visitors in the United States in June 2010.
  • More than 500 million users worldwide.
  • If Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest country in the world.
  • 50 percent of mobile Internet traffic in the United Kingdom is on Facebook.
  • Facebook tops Google for weekly U.S. Internet traffic.

If those statistics and my July 2010 video clip of the month, Social Media Revolution 2, left you wanting to know more about Facebook’s impact, visit Facebook Stories, a website recently launched to commemorate Facebook hitting 500 million users. The site contains a user-created collection of anecdotes on how Facebook affects people’s lives, including an interactive Bing-powered map you can zoom into different parts of the world to click on stories (represented by blue icons).
