Rapid Growth for Facebook
By Jenn Trap on 2008-12-18 16:51:08
Facebook continues to see incredible growth. According to recent statistics released by the company, its active-user count is at 140 million.
If these stats are correct, that would place Facebook.com's growth to nearly 650,000 users per day. Earlier this year, Facebook commented, citing their growth at 250,000 users per day.
Most of this new growth can be attributed to an increase in their non-US user base. This does bring up questions as to whether the revenue generated by the company can sustain its growth, especially considering the costs of maintaining its data centers in the foreign countries. Facebook has raised a large amount of Venture Capital, which should offset the cost of powering its data centers in foreign countries. Reportedly, the growth is faster than facebook has expected, and they are now looking for more VC funding.
