IS Facebook popular because of games?

Facebook: FarmVille is bigger than Twitter

acebook has released some startling figures today, which underlines just how big the site has become.

Speaking to journalists at the UK headquarters, with TechRadar in attendance, Facebook revealed just how many people log on each day and the stats are pretty mind-blowing. The company also noted that one of its apps, 'Farmville', is more popular than its major rival in the social-networking world – Twitter.

Here come the numbers: worldwide Facebook is clocking up 200 billion page views a month, with 350 million users globally logging into the site.

When it comes to the site's online chat function, 1.6 billion messages are sent every single day and 2.5 billion photos uploaded a month (around a thousand a second).

Facebook is also now hitting 23 million unique users a month in the UK, with each of those people logging on spending around 25 minutes on the website a day.

With so many users, Facebook is keen to push itself beyond that of a place that you come to see what your friends are up to.

Wall to wall posting is a way of communicating to all in your friend list...
Facebook is gaining popularity because of the number of various interesting games it offers!!
 
Orkut was the initial euphoria and at current facebook is raking the moolah as a more evolved product.
 
it depends i think country to country in asian countries facebook is famous becoz of games, guys some days before that due to some security reasons cretaor of facebook was very worried everyone can c everyone's walll why did it happened as he was focussing on the game part of the facebook not on the basic security features so we can say that as far as facebook in asia it is famous becoz of the games..........
 
facebook right now may be most popular bcz of games. but i think it is only in india bcz of this. in other countries, it is much more popular as a social networking just like orkut.
 
Facebook games are more popular abroad.
In India people are catching up to it.
U will rarely find an Indian holding the top spot in any game.
 
It is mainly because of games. But the concept of social networking at the click of a mouse and user-friendly features are what attracts people to facebook.
