Facebook claims to have between 900 million to 1billion users.
Well let's see...
From what I've seen from most facebook lovers is that they have more than 1 account. Most claim to have 3 or 4 accounts different.
Therefore 900 million devided by 3 = 300 million
According to information made available to the public because of being on the stock exchange. The various gouvernement organisations from all over the world. (not just united states ) account for around 20% of the users. That means facebook's users are 240 million
Next actual business... everything from the big transnational corporations like Coke Cola to "mom and dad owned corner stores" make up about 30% of the users on facebook.
That drops facebook population down to 168 million users.
Now if I could factor in 3rd world Viagra spammers, children that lie about their age, people that create an account and vanish, etc. I would guess that at
BEST Facebook has around 150 million users world wide.
Given the historical track record of previous social platforms 150 million sounds about right. And their stock value would appear to agree with my numbers.
