Facebook user statistics (Jan 2010)
In February 2010 Facebook exceeded 300 million users worldwide. It is not only the worlds largest social networking site but also second only to Google in terms of popularity and daily usage.
Approximately half of all active Facebook users log into their account on any given day. Over 55 million status updates are posted each day and more than 2.5 billion photos are uploaded to Facebook each month. And yet many marketeers still think as Facebook and social media marketing as a fringe activity in relation to more traditional marketing methods.

My message is this, social media is not fringe, it’s mainstream people. As the Americans say “get with the programme!” And if you are not convinced, at least do your homework and see for yourselves.
