Homemade Tick Repellent
While Facebook continues unabated approaching the goal of 700 million users, expected in June this year, many gives us stop and think and evaluate in detail the impressive figures that manages network Mr. Zuckerberg . Currently the network has been incorporated half of 700,000 users per day to give us an idea as if it incorporated more or less everyone in the small town where I live (Murcia, Spain, nearly 80,000 people ) multiplied by 10 in one day , or what is the same every 24 hours join Facebook the equivalent of ten medium-sized cities, are data to leave without a word to anyone. When we speak of these 700 million assumes that we refer to users ' assets' (the way in which those Facebook want to understand the word 'active' and given to another post) but as I said when many users there are many other variables that we must begin to consider. One of the most curious is that of those 700 million lost a relatively small handful, 1.78 million for the simple reason that they will die . In the U.S. alone are estimated to die for about 2011 480,000 users, half a million, and if we extend it to the rest of the world this figure rises to these 1.78 million.
Because besides enter daily, gossip a bit, well-intentioned place your data on Facebook and not stop playing Farmville one of the things Facebook users can not stop doing is precisely die as real and ironic as life itself, and when you have such a number of users after one year is normal that the low death involving a good pick. The truth is that just giving equal if they are 500, 650, 700 or 700,001 users but is handling this sort of thing when you publish such data assumptions and calculating the floor, subtract at least 50 million users at the figure, taking into account the following repeated death accounts, duplicate, false and promotions, which also exist.
Where will the line? Are we all one day Facebook ? I do not think everyone in that particular network, especially when alternatives like Diaspora continue to mature and proliferate, but the seemingly trivial fact that 1.78 million will use a network because they will die gives a pretty good idea to how social networks are integrated into our daily lives and almost scary, or not, think how much they will be.
