In their quest for cool infographics, the people at mashable.com have produced a really cool info graphic of an average Facebook user. Check it out at: http://mashable.com/2011/11/18/facebook-stats/
Image is below:
A few interesting things. The average user has 229 Facebook friends:
For nor fot profits, what is interesting is that 7% of friends have been met through voluntary groups.
In 2008, the average user is 38 years old. Two years ago, it was 33 indicating that the number of "older" people on Facebook has been growing fast. Further, the median age of the planet is 28.4 years of age. In the USA the median age is 36.8. This indicates Facebook population is actually skewed toward an older demographic than the general population. Thats fascinating. So much for a "young person's tool". (Australia's median age is 37.5 years so Australia and Facebook's populations are closely aligned!)
56% of users update their status weekly and only 18% daily.
