Surprising Facebook Facts That You Didn’t Know

Facebook with its multi-billion user base, is the biggest social media giant today. But there are some things you might not know about Facebook. Check out our list of Facebook fun facts and know more about the company.

Facebook recently hit the benchmark of 1 billion active users on a single day. The latest analysis by App Annie, the app store analytics firm revealed that Facebook has become the most popular and the most downloaded app of all times. As happy as everyone in the Facebook community (users and employees alike), we decided to get you some fun facts about your beloved social media, which by the way, is almost as severely criticized by some tech and media business houses.

Let’s see some of the Facebook facts, although you might know a few of them:

1. FaceBlue Is It?

Wonder why Facebook is all blue? Facebook issues subtle changes in its interface regularly but never changed from its trademark blue color. It is not because Zuckerberg likes blue, but actually he can’t see other colors that well. He has got a red-green color blindness.

2. Height of Confidence

You would be amazed to see the multi-billion dollar offers that Zuckerberg turned down for his Facebook. Rejecting a $15 billion deal from Microsoft would have required some serious guts. Now, that is called confidence. Read more

3. You Think You Are Safe?

More than 600,000 hacking attempts are made to Facebook accounts every day. Thanks to the Facebook scams, more and more people are now prone to account hacking. Read more

4. Who Was That Guy?

If you happen to be a long term Facebook user (before 2007), then you would remember that sad blue guy on the Facebook’s homepage. It was none other than the legendary Al Pacino in his youth.

5. Talking Dead

Facebook has over 30 million IDs whose owners are supposedly dead, and over 8% over Facebook users are fake. So stop bragging about your friend list now.

6. Oh God!! Even Facebook Tracks Me….

Move over NSA’s spying habits people, even Facebook tracks your web crawling habits. It doesn’t matter if you are logged out. Remember, the allegations on Facebook about tracking your profile through the Rainbow Profile Pictures. Also, all the text you write in the status update box is received at the Facebook servers, even if you do not post it.

7. Wonder Why Zuckerberg Is So Rich?

Facebook’s estimated earnings from every U.S. user are an average of about USD $6. No wonder Zuckerberg is the richest man under 35.

8. Shortcut To Zuckerberg

Just add/4 in the end of the Facebook URL and you will be directed to Mark Zuckerberg’s wall. If you add 5 or 6, you will be directed to other co-founders of Facebook. Wonder why the CEO chose 4 rather than 1 !!

9. How Fast Is Your Like Meter?

Every minute, over 4 million likes are made on Facebook. How fast does your like meter ticks?

10. Whoa.. Watch Your Language Bro!!

Zuckerberg might be a philanthropist now, but he was just a brash guy back in 2004. He bragged about people trusting his website with their personal information while calling us “Dumb F**ks”.

Workato Chat Bot Brings Enterprise Workflow Into Slack

As we head into 2016, enterprise chat applications like Slack are suddenly a hot commodity, and if you’re inside chat a good portion of the day the argument goes, you should be able to access other work without leaving the chat client. This is exactly what Workato’s newly announced chat bot, Workbot, is designed to do. Chat bots are small programs that integrate with a chat platform and provide some advanced type of functionality in a fairly easy fashion. The new Workbot-chat bot enables users to access and control over 100 enterprise applications such as a Salesforce CRM record, Quickbooks accounting information or Zendesk customer service interactions directly inside of Slack. One of the primary issues with early Enterprise 2.0 tools was that they were just another application busy employees needed to pay attention to. The idea here is to give users customer information directly in the context of the discussion they may be having...

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a downloadable version of Remix OS that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town. Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from a post in the Remix OS Google Group , altho...

Trump cites Facebook exec’s comments downplaying Russian ad influence on election

You’d be forgiven for missing Donald Trump’s multiple retweets of Facebook executive Rob Goldman over the weekend. Perhaps you were spending time with family, watching Black Panther or just attempting to forget politics for a moment by ignoring the manic flurry of social media updates from the leader of the free world. But in amongst a deluge of tweets that blamed Democrats for failing to preserve DACA, called out the FBI over the recent school shooting in Florida on the FBI and affectionately referred to a member of congress as “Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control,” the President cited Facebook’s VP of Ads as evidence against claims that his campaign colluded with Russia. “The Fake News Media never fails,” Trump tweeted over the weekend. “Hard to ignore this fact from the Vice President of Facebook Ads, Rob Goldman!” Trump was citing Goldman’s own Twitter dump over the past week, responding to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s recent indictment of 13 Russian...
