"1.28 billion monthly users" so yeah..

I think that he should have worded it as 

"who the fuck in the tech world still uses facebook"

 

Of my group of tech nerds, none of us use facebook anymore. We're spread out across just building our own forums for lols and even (on rare occasions) just use emails if one of us forget to pay the bill for the forum.

#nofacebook. Who the fuck uses facebook still.

Around 1,310,000,000 use facebook monthly, 680,000,000 are using it on their mobile phone, averaging around 18 minutes per user, that is 81,000,000 users. and around 20 million facebook apps installed each day. ( as of 01.01.2014 ). so id like to say ALOT of fucking people still use facebook lol, oh and the revenue for 2013 was $6,150,000,000

How many of those are duplicate accounts?

Some people understand this thing called privacy thing is that facebook don't know what it is.

It's great for law enforcement to get info on people though as they can of course override all the weak privacy settings.

Maybe it was down because the NSA were downloading everything into their datacentre from safe keeping in case someone thinks they can delete that incriminating photo?

[beebskadoo]

Good, maybe they turned off their Farmville and picked up a book!

[matin94]

hope its forever

[flibberdipper]

I didn't plan to go on it today anyway. Finally, there will be an end to all of the damn game requests, at least until it's back up.

The NSA and any other agency are absolutely free to look at my information on facebook, read my emails and texts and do what they want

 

Actually I live about 5 miles away from the largest electronics monitoring station in the world so im  pretty fucked anyway

all my friends still use it and we are very much "in the tech world" 

[deviant88]

what's a face book?

this?

Hey Mr. fabulous.

 

A friend of mine who works at geek squad told me a story and mentioned this one rather southern woman coming in and buying a pretty beast notebook to play...get ready for it...Farmville. The specs were better than my friends desktop so he raged so hard. The woman later returned because things were acting slow, Turns out she not only bought a new computer for Farmville, but she bought a new computer because it turns out it was her crappy 1.5mbps internet connection and had nothing to do with her old computer at all.

just because you don't have friends doesn't mean everyone else doesn't

Twitch.tv gets more internet traffic in the US than facebook does on a daily basis ;D

I agree, i only use facebook to keep in contact with old class m8's.

That is wrong. Twitch uses more bandwidth (because it streams video) then facebook uses. Facebook still is in the top 3 of traffic in the world, and also in the US.
