Facebook traffic plummets in the US

Facebook traffic plummets in the US.

With 687 million users at the end of May, Facebook’s traffic is far from hurting. But in the US, millions of users have decided to disconnect.

As its user ranks approach 700 million worldwide, Facebook traffic in the United States has dropped significantly, a sign that the social network behemoth may be on the way down, reports Inside Facebook.

According to statistics from Inside Facebook Gold analytics service — which gets its information from Facebook’s advertising tool — new Facebook users totaled 11.8 million people in May — an impressive number by any stretch of the imagination. But that compares to the 13.9 million who joined in April, and an average of about 20 million in the 12 months prior.

This drop is primarily due to a plunge in registered users in the US. The number of US Facebook users fell from 155.2 million to 149.4 million during the month of May alone. That’s nearly 6 million people who decided they no longer need to stay connected through the service, and is the first time Facebook has lost users in the last year.

Facebook finally taking over the global market in social media sector

Facebook has grown tremendously in the recent years.
Its out numbered all its predecessors & competitors and even put them out of their own game i.e. social blogging/networking/media.

Its heard that the current Facebook stats has already crossed over , all thanks to increased usage in countries like Brazil and India.

Growth is one of the powerful ingredients and spice that Facebook is achieving from its latest:

1. ads invention,
2. pages creation,
3. new look & feel in design,
4. impressive photos and video sharing, etc.

Facebook has yet not gone thru the downward trend from the time of it start-up. And i don’t think soon it will see that evil side (hope not),

Its creating new ways and opportunity’s to individuals or organizational objectives.
It offers a varied range of online flash games, that’s very popular among the users.

It may not be a surprise but it seems like California based social networking giant Facebook will soon start a new era of media and networking on the WWW – Internet.

Many Countries are now going Ga-Ga over social networking and the popularity among youths are growing even more.

Countries like India, Brazil, Phillipines, Argentina etc are responsible for much of the social website’s international adoption recently.

According to www.digitaltrends.com:

Along with the 700 million worldwide users, the Washington Post reports that the site is expected to host 100 billion photos once summer rolls around. According to their statistics, close to 6 billion photos are uploaded monthly with female users taking part in the majority of the picture uploading. The Post says “the number of profile photos posted on Facebook has tripled since 2006”.

700 million users really isn’t that many people when you think about the Earth’s current population of 6.8 billion. Facebook still has a ways to go before it takes over the world.

According to washingtonpost.com blog:

Facebook is poised to hit 700 million users, according to analysis from the Facebook statistics blog SocialBakers.

If Facebook were its own country, it would be the third-largest in the world.
