That’s right, it was announced yesterday that Facebook has registered it 500 millionth user (UK Facebook users currently at around 26m).  Metro newspaper dedicated its front page to the fact today along with a handful of other facts, truly proving the dominance of the social network. In case you missed them the front page can be seen below.
* Facebook Facts: from Metro Front Page
* Globally Facebook has 500m Users
* 26 million Britains use it (that’s more than a third of the population)
* More than 3 million pictures are uploaded every month
* There are more than 60 million status updates a day
* On average you create 90 pieces of content every month
* The average person has 130 friends
* Collectively users spend 700 billion minutes a month on Facebook
* 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news, blogs etc) are shared each month
This comes at a very good time for the social network as the trailer for the film of the creation of Facebook ‘The Social Network’ (recent trailer attached below) was released recently again showing the magnitude of the site created in 2004.
