‘Users spend 700-billion minutes a month on Facebook’ [Infographic]

Facebook is without a doubt the biggest social networking site in the world. The number of people within the social network is growing on a daily basis with 500-million users.

Non Facebook users always attribute their reluctance to join the site with still wanting to remain connected to the “real world”. Our society has become so immersed in the online world that some might even say real life interaction is threatened.

Though those immersed in the online space may counter by questioning the concept of “real” –what makes online not real? After all you still communicate with your network of friends, it just happens to be online. The average Facebook user has 345 friends, however only 150 of those are in their inner circle.
