Fishy Math, Facebook, and comScore

comScore released some data about Facebook, which says they are growing really really fast. Of course, if you were a Facebook user you would know that – now that everyone wants to be everyone’s friend. I think the next data set will show even more growth, especially in the page views.

Why? Because it is a page view honey pot – there is not a button that can do one click delete/accept invites. Each time you approve someone, there is an annoying relationship page that comes up. I could go on and on. Just wondering if that does juice up average minutes per visitor? Okay maybe I am just being too snarky this morning: jet-lag and lack of coffee.

For an even-snarkier view on the Facebook/comScore data, check out Alec Saunders’ post.
