How in the WORLD does Facebook have Almost 840,000,000 users?!

The world's total population is about to top 7,000,000,000 people, and only 2.267 billion of the world population actually have access to the internet (As of 12/31/11.  Source:  http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm). That means that the 839,000,000+ people who are on Facebook comprise about 32% of the ENTIRE WORLD population that HAS ACCESS to the INTERNET!

Total Facebook Users 839,073,380 (Source:  http://www.checkfacebook.com)

United States
Total FB users in the U.S.: 157,067,260
Percent of the US on FB: 50.04%
Total U.S. population: 311,591,900 (as of July 2011)
Canada
Total FB users in Canada: 16,761,880
Percent of Canadians on FB: 49.14
Total Canadian population: 34,108,800 (as of March 2012)

So why, and how, does FB have about 37% of the entire world population that has access to the internet (not to mention about 50% of the TOTAL population of the US and Canada)?

It's VIRAL. You join Facebook. You tell a friend or two or three to join probably after your initial "familiarization and learning curve period". After this initial period your two or three friends tell two or three of their friends so you now have potentially 12 (the first 3 plus the 9 THEY told) friends. Those 9 tell 3 of their friends each and you have potentially 39 (the first 3 plus the 9 THEY told plus the 27 the 9 told).

But it goes deeper than that. Of the 39, a few of them are already on Facebook and have 30, 60, 100+ friends in their friends list (or more). So, let's say only 5 of those 39 have the lowest number of friends (30) currently in their friends list. That's 150 people who could potentially come to you as either a friend suggestion from the person you know or just a random request because they saw you have mutual friends with them. That's only 5 out of the 39 already on FB, remember Facebook has 32% of the ENTIRE WORLD population that has access to the internet (and about 50% of the TOTAL population of the US and Canada). I only figured on 13%! See that?
