According to SocialBakers blog, Facebook continues to grow and is now very close to reach 700 million users. In 2010, the social network had 500 million. The number represents almost half the number of Internet users - 2 billion.
While this figure shows the continuous growth for some social networks may pose a serious problem. Even for Orkut, as the country that contributed most to growth in recent months has been Brazil, with 11.37%. Now there are about 19 million Brazilians on Facebook. Other countries where the number of members were also considerably increased: Indonesia, Philippines, Mexico, Argentina and India.
This represents a rather interesting because, as the dominant social network in Brazil is Orkut, which is losing ground faster than ever for the network of Mark Zuckerberg. The exchange of a network by another happens not only here, obviously, but in all countries that Facebook had a high growth.
Facebook has some very interesting statistics. For example, the average number of friends who are a normal user has 130 people spend about 700 billion minutes per month on the network to total there are about 900 million interactive objects (like pages, groups, events and pages community) and more than 30 billion of content are shared every month.
Perhaps the biggest mistake of Orkut has been exactly this: it took on updates. The strength of Facebook is to be an interactive environment with an optimal security policy and a system that almost never goes down (who does not hate those messages Orkut: No donuts for you?). Meanwhile, Google is still trying to keep Orkut alive, but little by little, he begins to be passed directly through Facebook.
