Not That Into Facebook? Read The Latest Facts!

There has been a massive rise in the number of people who have set up an account on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Brick technology web design regularly tries to explain to our internet marketing customers about how important social media is but to no avail.

  1. Currently there are over 500 million users
  2. Over 700 billion minutes a month are spent on Facebook
  3. Facebook is used by 1 in every 13 people on the earth
  4. Over 250 million of the users (over 50%) login every single day
