So if everyone logged in at once would Facebook crash? And there are not 120 million users. 120 million accounts maybe, managed by probably 50 million real people. Do a search for Paris Hilton or Obama and see how many accounts pop up. Once you get rid of all those with multiple profiles, all the fake celebrity’s and the crooks, what are you left with? And don’t get me started on the ‘Facebook has more photos than Flickr’ story. Flickr has ‘photos’. Blurry, drunken, mobile phone snaps (that most people don’t want anyone to see anyway) don’t count.

In fact, if Facebook were a country, it would be twice the size of the United Kingdom.

Nonsense. Noone would claim that Heathrow has a population of 70m (its annual passenger figures), because they aren’t there all at once. Likewise with Facebook.

If you assume an average of 10 minutes per registered account per day every day (pulling figures out of the proverbial, but doesn’t seem unreasonable when you factor in inactive and occasional users), then Facebook actually has a population a bit bigger than Leeds. Or Jacksonville, Florida.
