purdy Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Today Facebook claimed it had 1 billion users. I would hazzard a guess about half are fake profiles. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'd claim (accurately) that one billion = one million million: maybe 160 times the number of people around at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaFoot Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Plenty of fake/duplicate/imitation/joke profiles in there for sure. Probably quite a large number of people that have signed up and not looked at it since too. It's still an impressive number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Well its got to claim something to try and bolster its falling share prices. So maybe it meant 'one billion dollars that used to be owned (but was then lost) by by its disgruntled investors'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloke Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'd claim (accurately) that one billion = one million million: maybe 160 times the number of people around at present. I know how we all like to be factually correct here on the forum so I feel that it is my duty to point out that your claim is only accurate if you're in continental Europe. In most English and Arabic speaking countries a billion is one thousand million, according to the guru. No thanks required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
