Check Facebook is a great site that allows you to understand the following about Facebook stats and who is using it:
- Global users
- Total users by geography
- Largest countries
- Fastest growing countries (penetration)
- US vs global
- Male vs female
Not sure about you, but I constantly get asked by clients and colleagues about how many people in Australia are using Facebook. As at 2nd July, 2009 there were just over 5,800,000 Australian’s using Facebook and over 225 million global users.

Amazing how quickly Facebook is growing – especially in areas like the Far East, India, Brazil and Eastern Europe. Hitting critical mass in these places now so I expect it to keep growing – everyone may be talking about Twitter but Facebook is where the numbers are…..

Hey Dom,
I like allfacebook.com as well. I has some good stats on applications and pages, plus a blog of the latest and greatest.
Hope all is well in lovely Sydney!

Is that ad function on right side worthwhile? I’ve heard you can really drill down to the psychographic data on people’s pages. Have you or clients used it before?
