When will Facebook hit 1 billion users?

According to JESS3‘s new Geosocial Universe infographic, Facebook is quickly approaching 700 million users – which got me thinking – when will Facebook hit 1 billion users? At this point there is no “if” they will reach a billion users, but when. Facebook reached 600 million users earlier this year in January, and will probably hit the 700 million mark at the end of June. My prediction:  Facebook will hit 1 billion users by Spring of 2012. I think they can easily be close to 900 million users by the end of this year. When do you think Facebook will reach 1...

33% of Facebook Posts via Mobile Phone

According to research compiled by Dan Zarrella, 33% of Facebook posts come from mobile devices. What was so surprising about this research was that majority of these updates came through m.facebook.com, and not through smartphone devices like the iPhone, Android, etc. I imagine that mobile Facebook usage will continue to climb in the future. What do you think of this data? Blog #108 of 365 of...

Seattle’s Best hosting live 24-hour comedy show on Facebook

To promote a new line of coffee, Seattle’s Best is hosting a live 24-hour comedy show via Facebook starting on Wednesday, April 13. Oh, and they will be giving away free samples and coupons. The first 100,000 users to declare their favorite coffee level will get a free sample. The next 500,000 will receive a coupon for Seattle’s Best coffee. Currently, Seattle’s Best has just over 70,000 fans on Facebook. I like this approach with adding the comedy show. It’s bold and daring. They could’ve easily given away those samples/coupons without doing anything else,...
