2009 best new year gift for Facebook - 150 million users

Facebook每天拥有遍布全球各洲的来自170个国家共使用35种语言的7500万访客, 对于Facebook来讲，以这样的方式迎接新年恐怕是再好不过了。

昨天，Facebook CEO马克.扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）在他的博客中写道，Facebook这个社会化网络站点刚刚达到它的里程碑－－1.5亿活跃用户。另一份统计数据显示，几乎一半的用户每天使用Facebook。

“这些用户来自世界各大洲，甚至包括南极洲，”扎克伯格写道，“如果Facebook的所有用户组成一个国家的话，它将超过日本、俄罗斯和尼日利亚，成为世界第八大人口国家。”

China becomes world's largest internet population

BEIJING - China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest internet-using population, reaching 221 million by the end of February, state media said on Thursday.

The number of internet users in China was 210 million at the end of last year, only 5 million fewer than the US internet users then, Xinhua news agency said, quoting the China internet Network Information Centre.

"Despite a rapidly increasing internet population, the proportion of internet users among the total population was still lower than the global average level," Xinhua quoted the Information Ministry as saying.
