Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
Facebook reveals its crazy usage figures. FarmVille more popular than Twitter.
While speaking to journalists in the UK, Facebook have revealed some truly insane usage statistics. Only yesterday they were announcing their crossing of the 350 million user threshold -- and now we know just how active those users are: 200 billion page views a month. 350 million users clock in 200 billion page views. OK, if that didn't blow your mind: 1.4 million photos are uploaded to Facebook every second. I actually find that statistic hard to believe -- it's such a mind-bogglingly vast number. That's something like 120 billion photos uploaded per day? That must be wrong. (But I can't find a source that says otherwise...)
Facebook also noted, perhaps with a jubilant twinkle in its eye, that FarmVille actually has more users than its only real social media rival Twitter. FarmVille now has 69 million players, if you were wondering.

Update: Techradar have fixed their figures. It's 'only' 2.5 billion photos a month.

I think you might have your math wrong...according to the article (techradar), 2.5 billion photos are uploaded a month, which roughly equates to 1000 photos a second, not 1.4 million.
2,500,000,000 / (30 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 964.5

Hehe, Techradar have updated their article to a much more reasonable number since I wrote this last night!
Thank God! I hoped I was wrong... and I was.

Thank god you were wrong, that is an assload of pictures D: Either way, Facebook may be doing great, but it is only a matter of time until something new comes by, unless if Facebook fixes all the bugs / issues -_-
But according to Friendster, they are the leading Social Networking site...I sense that someone is lying XD (/sarcasm)

If you're sick and tired of running around totally broke while other players get barns and greenhouses and the most expensive villa, this information is for you.
You've probably always wondered why you can't seem to make as much money or level up as fast as the other players in the game.
I used to wonder the same thing. I thought,
"Where are these people making money so fast?"
"Are they buying it on FarmVille?"
"What are they growing and selling?"
So I set out to spy on all the successful players I could find to see just what they did to earn all of their money and to level up so fast.
