Since Facebook is now so ginormous (that’s the scientific term for it, right?) we wanted to give you a frame of reference for how big the service has become. And as we so often do, we’ve done it with a chart. :)

It never ceases to amaze me how much social media has boomed. To see it put into the context of this chart literally blows the mind.
