Facebook Population = USA Population?

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announces last Tuesday night around 7 PM EST the number of Facebook users has reached 300 million, which is pretty close to the US population, which is about 307 million. Plus, for the first time, Facebook is actually making a profit. Even though it took five years to make it to 250 million last July, it took only two months to get the other 50 million. To my surprise, only 30% of Facebook users are from the US. Even the older generation is starting to get Facebooks recently. Since Facebook is now making a profit, online advertising is open, as well as for other websites to put their advertisements on Facebook.

As intriguing as the above paragraph may state, that was not the main reason why I chose this article. This article caught my attention because now even more people have the chance to find you online. Plus, we just had a discussion about how easily people can find you and/or your username online. If I recall correctly, Mrs. Fagan said she had around 800 views on her blog recently, the most she has ever had. Who knows what kind of people saw it.  And a final note to all Facebook users: imagine over 300 million users having the ability to search you, click on your name and to click on your friend list to find even more profiles to see. I find that creepy, don’t you?
