Seems to me the author got many Facebook facts from here, and it now says
100 million (interestingly, in google, the page still comes up as 90 mill)
all other facts the same http://www.facebook.com/press/info.php?statistics

What info would you like, Stil (sigh) .. one might think many relevant
wonderings where answered in the paragraphs immediately after the quote?

Let's see, 'Facebook Units of Information' Hmm, Romances? ID-Thefts? The
number of facebooks that mix red and green in the overall colour scheme? 

Though I do wonder how well buried all their abandoned Facebooks are now.

Cheers Stil ..
