US only - not so. I'm researching Facebook for a paper for grad school and just read that 28% are from outside the USA. (www.fastcompany.com)
My theory is that international students will bring it home and soon it will be world-wide.

Why facebook is popular among older users I think is due its clean, simple and elegant user interface.

In its early days, Facebook faced an extremely threatening lawsuit from ConnectU, a very similar social network which - like Facebook - shares its roots back to Harvard, and as a result almost got shutdown. The founders of ConnectU alleged that Facebookâ€™s founder Mark Zuckerberg stole source code while he was in their employment. Zuckerberg denied the allegation and the lawsuit was dismissed.

Facebook is exploding in Canada too! (At least in Ontario!) Although it seems to be mostly university/college aged students who are using it but I've seen a increase of "30somethings" getting hooked into the fad.

In Norway Facebook has taken off amazingly over the last couple of months. Barely any of my students had even heard about it at the start of semester; now they're all online. Admittedly I teach blogging/social networks etc so the dozen or so in my class heard about it from me, but all THEIR friends have been inviting them too - according to Alexa it was the 18th most popular site in Norway on March 28, and today it's crept up to the 16th most popular... The growth is amazingly fast! NONE of my students (well, except the exchange students) had heard of this in early February!

The open source aspect is exciting, and I think, the way the Web is going. 1.5 billion page views is nothing short of astounding!

Thanks for the great article Eric!

Always,
Phil

Facebook is definitely not US only. As Alan rightly says, Facebook is *hot* in the UK. I'm a third year student and I don't know anyone at uni who *doesn't* have Facebook. There's a major migration from MySpace.

Hmm... a mysterious spike over the last month. The exact same time they were hosting the world's largest March Madness pool with over 1.5 Million entrants checking their stats daily was occurring.

Nah, probably no coincidence.

As far as I can tell, the UK has gone nuts for Facebook in the last 6 months. Dunno if there are any stats to confirm this.

Thanks for referencing Mashable. This is an awesome overview - best post I've read today. Great job digging into the stats, Eric.

can you explained the math behind the daily page views - the site has 20 million registered users lets even assume they all come back every day - at 1.5 billion page views daily that would mean an average of 75 page views a day which in an of itself is seems very high - assume 10 million visit a day 50% of the audience then you have a staggering 150 page view per day per person - these numbers seem way out of wack

I am impressed by Facebookâ€™s decision to contribute to the open-source community their enhancements to Memcached.

Actually, facebook isn't entirely US-only. It's still English only, but in his talk at Startup School last weekend, Mark Zuckerberg said that a substantial proportion of growth is in non-US markets.

Not only is Facebook is an amazing platform for social networking, but Facebook is also increasingly an important platform for software services. Specifically, I am impressed by Facebook's decision to contribute to the open-source community their enhancements to Memcached. I am sure that facebook has expended valuable resources enhancing Memcached, and I think it's great that Facebook has decided make those enhancements available to everyone -- no strings attached.

We're using Facebook's Memcached code at http://www.eser.org and we're looking at tying into their API. I think the characterization of facebook as a platform play is very prescient.

Yeah, I agree, FB's growth is incredible. I always use Facebook to keep in touch with my friends and www.Cavenger.com for entertainment.

Facebook's growth is really remarkable, but at least today they're still a US-only phenomenon, while most of the other top dogs in the SN space are making great progress there.
