According to Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s Chief Operations Officer...
in 2009 Facebook had 150 million users, with more than 200 million monthly visitors. When it was pointed out to her that this is 1 in 5 of the people in the world that are on the internet visit Facebook she replied, “So we have 4 in 5 more to go.”.
This year Facebook has more than doubled in size to 350 million registered users.
Moreover, half of all registered users still log in to Facebook every day, and that’s 175 million people.
Next time Facebook hesitates or stalls bear this in mind.

Data Sources and Calculation Method
4.5% of the world's population own a computer according to the best estimate I could find.
The world’s population is 6,692,030,277 according to the aggregated data collected by Google
There are 11,500,000,000 web pages. Again this is the best estimate I could find.
So, there are approximately 301,141,362 computer users looking at 11,500,000,000 web pages. That’s 38 pages for every computer user!

9 Pubs around the U.K which were originally secret for fear of overcrowding.
Quote from the director of product design at Sky - Brian Lenz
“We have done consumer testing and people forget pretty quickly that they are wearing them and if a large group is doing it people don't really worry about it. I've seen people wear far sillier things in the pub [than 3D specs],"
