Facebook takes 150000 lives a year!

Wednesday 9th June 2010

The World and the Interweb

There are  61 million people in Britain and 1.3 Billion people in China.
The World population is 6.8 Billion people. The internet has 1.8 Billion users, and 53% of Europeans use the internet. There are approximately 200 Million distinct websites ignoring blogs, though it's hard to know for sure so this is a conservative estimate. The top search engines including, Google, youTube, Yahoo and bing provide 120 Billion searches a month. That means on average every person on the planet, woman, child, man and young and old does about 18 searches a month.

Facebook

Facebook accounts for more website hits than google and Facebook has 400 million users. People on facebook have an average of 130 friends which means that when you post information on facebook, assuming you have the right settings then potentially 16,900 people can see your post. But your post is one of 25 Billion posts per month on facebook! Which probably explains why 500 Billion minutes are spent on facebook every month! That's an average of 41 minutes per facebook user per day!

 

At what Cost?

The average person lives about 41 million minutes which means that 12 thousand
five hundred human lifetimes are consumed by facebook every month!
That's 150 thousand
lifetimes consumed by facebook every single year!
If you laid those people end to end they would stretch 252 km!

This is quite a sobering statistic!

 

Standing out from the Crowd.

So the question is how are you going to stand out from the crowd and get some of that attention?
The online movies we produce are a great way of getting noticed because most people would rather
sit back and look at a video and be entertained than do the work of reading information and scrolling through web pages find out why here...
