Interesting Facts That You May Not Know About Facebook

 

Facebook is the most famous of social networks today. Though there seem to be new ones launched every day, the one that started as a simple college idea is going viral and taking over the planet. We think we know a lot about Facebook… Do we really know?

 

 

 

Probably the most often used button in Facebook is the “Like” button. We use it to show that we like photos, statuses, people, organisations, notes, locations and much more. But did you know that the Facebook brainiacs first wanted to call the button “Awesome”? It’s definitely a good thing they did not. Facebook users have produced more than 1.13 trillion likes since the feature was first introduced in the beginning of 2009. Moreover, approximately 219 billion photos have been uploaded to the network (November,2012  )

 

 

What we now know as Facebook was first called Thefacebook. Does not really have as good a ring to it, does  it? Thankfully Sean Parker helped in buying the Facebook.com domain for $200,000.

With its 1.3 billion active users, Facebook would be the second largest country in the world if it were given the opportunity. Even more interesting is the fact that more than half of those people (approximately 680 million) use Facebook on their mobile devices.(March, 2013  )

It probably won’t surprise you that the most Facebook users are from the US (about 166 million). But did you know that the second place is held by Brazil with 58 million, the third by India with 55 million, the fourth by Indonesia with 47 million and the fifth by none other than Mexico with 38 million. And do you know that there is no Facebook in China ? Yes not only Facebook, Many top level sites are away from China. (November,2012  )
