Facebook仍持续火爆中。昨天Facebook宣布其活跃用户达到三亿 。三亿是什么样的概念？ 可以从下面这三方面对比来看这个数据:
- 整个世界上总共才三个国家的人口数超过三亿。他们是中国（13.3亿）印度(11.7亿)、美国(3.07亿)。
- 俄罗斯的人口数为1.42亿，还不到Facebook用户的一半。
- Facebook的用户数将近是英国人口（0.62亿）总数的五倍。
- 随着Facebook的快速发展，它的用户数将很快要超过美国总人口数，这同时还引出我们的下一个疑问. . .
Facebook的发展空间还有多大？
根据InternetWorldStats 的统计，全球互联网用户数将近16.7亿。这意味着将近8% 的互联网用户都在使用Facebook,这实属罕见。 即使还有很大的发展空间,更实际点讲Facebook还会强大到什么程度呢？

Only 3 countries in the world have more people than Facebook
The Facebook phenomenon continues. Yesterday Facebook announced that it has a whopping 300 million active users.Three. Hundred. Million. Users.
For some perspective on how huge that is:
- There are only THREE countries in the entire world that have a population of more than 300 million. Those are China (1.33 billion), India (1.17 billion) and USA (307 million).
- Russia has a population of 142 million. That’s not even half of Facebook’s user base.
- Facebook has almost five times as many users as the entire population of the UK (62 million).
With Facebook’s rapid growth rate, it will soon have more users than there are people in the US. Which leads us to the following question . . .
How large can Facebook get?
There are almost 1.67 billion Internet users in the world according to InternetWorldStats. That would mean that approximately 18% of all Internet users in the world use Facebook, which is exceptional.
Even though there’s still plenty of room to grow, how much larger can Facebook realistically get?
