Some of the astounding numbers surrounding the Palo Alto social-networking giant in 2010.
This worries me.Why... Facebook is worth $45 billion and 96% of people on Face book don't pay a read cent. Is this what life has become,so much for so little. If you want heat in your house,turn the heat on and get a power bill,want gas in your car, fill it up and pay,well pay first. Want a newspaper, buy it and read it.. Along with the likes of Skype,pandora and others it's all becoming free. What message does this send to the people of the world.
Goods & services don't cost. And I can get what I want,when I want it free.
WTF this blog is free & and I am using it.
Question...is this a good thing for the human race ... Let me know
If the social network were a country, it would be the world's third largest.

Face book is still a closely held company, although there is constant speculation that it will go public. One measure of the company's value comes from Sharespost.com, which tracks the sale of privately held stock. According to Sharespost, Facebook is valued at $45.21 billion.
That puts it between Metlife Inc. ($43.79 billion) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. ($45.27 billion).
A treasure trove of content Facebook members share more than 30 billion pieces of content (Web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.) each month. The average user creates 90 pieces of content in a month.

February 2010:

July 2010:

Estimated number of members: 600 million
Facebook's worldwide membership mushroomed from 150 million in January 2009 to 500 million in July, which was the last time the company released an official figure. It announces only the number of active users, those who log on to the site at least once a month.
With the number of monthly active users increasing by about 18.5 million per month in the last year and a half, Facebook is expected to have 600 million members soon. What I think 3 to 5 years there will be another bigger type of Face book,The year 2000,who knew of google,it was all Yahoo,now take a look.
Please let me know your thoughts
