Hi Sad Sack!
Facebook is the largest online social network.
In 2008 Facebook had 100 million users and as of March 2013 has 1.11 Billion.
Facebook filed for a $5 billion IPO on February 1st 2012 and valued the company at $104 billion.

Facebook is a juggernaut. Except for genesis of the internet itself, it is arguably the most powerful and influential invention of this millennium. A billion users. A BILLION! That is 1/7 of the WORLD’s POPULATION. Very impressive, Lord Zuckerberg. Very impressive.
Now that you have some baseline information about Facebook, I want to encapsulate the entire experience.
The fact of the matter is that more than half of the United States in on Facebook; back out babies and geriatrics and the actual percentage of eligible users are staggering. But this lesson is not about the stats of Facebook and why is it so great. If I am being totally frank (ha,ha) I think Facebook is a bit, well, played. It seems to have reached a bit of a ‘been there, done that’ phase of existence. However, I am confident it is hard to find more than a handful of people that are not regulars on the Book.
And so, to you 1 billion brainwashed drones of Facebook, you are more than likely one of these 10 people.
10. The Statesman
The Statesman is the person that will make Facebook their personal Squawk Box to rattle off their meaningless and un-influential thoughts on all things politics and government. The Statesman is typically a hard ‘lefty’ or ‘righty’ and is seeking the world’s (or at least their 268 Facebook ‘friends’) to agree with their viewpoint and spread the word to the masses. Do us a favor; just yell at your TV instead. Thanks.
