Year 2008 is going to be drown keeping the entire burden, crisis and the recession catastrophe. Err, I know the recession phase isn’t over yet but I am so optimistic about it that the New Year 2009 is coming along with all the solutions and opportunities.
Old Facebook died, New Facebook got a life
Today I want to discuss what Facebook has been doing for the whole year, what changes it made with the Facebook look, how many apps have been uploaded, we heard about many people didn’t like the new Facebook, what forced them to think that way and bla bla bla,
Let’s start with Facebook new interface, it has been designed in various technical means. They played with header to footer to different navigation tabs. Old Facebook had limited access while the new one is more cleaner and easy to use, infact the old one was too cluttered in a single home page, so that was the problem SEO were facing. Initially, many users were not ready to digest the new or upgraded version of Facebook because they were quite used to of the old one. Against new Facebook, several petitions by thousands of people has been signed and sent to the respective department but ultimately they couldn’t have the permanent way to get back their old friend. However, the perception has changed over the time and they start understanding the fact that the old Facebook was too much mess and needed to be upgraded.

Statistics
General Growth
By the end of 2008, Facebook has over 140 million active users around the globe, and interestingly they are college graduate and of age 25 years old and older.
User Engagement
It has been observed that single Facebook user has 100 friends on his/her profile on average and this rate is getting increased day by day. Infact I was so chocked that 2.6 billions minutes are spent on Facebook and 13 million users update their status atleast once everyday. Ohh God!! This is so true, I even update my status atleast one time a day.
Applications
If I tell you the numbers of pictures, videos, content and event etc that have been uploaded for the sake of fun or business, whatever, you will be shocked. It is more than 700 million photos, 4 million videos, 15 million pieces of content have been uploaded and 2 millions events have been created for distinct purposes.
More than 5200 applications are available and 19 million active users groups are busy in their gossips. Whoa! Amazingly amazing.
Being on Facebook, its fun to be with old friends and find new, expand your business with the customized applications available. More than 660,000 developers from 180 countries are roaming here and there and bring new, technological and innovative apps each day.
I hope this year we will be writing triple times counting in each department, be it applications or active users, they are going to beat the count, very soon.
