100 000 South Africans on Facebook and counting…

9 Comments 20 June 2007

On 21 May 2007 Tyler reported that there were 50 000 facebook users on the South African newtwork. One month later and the South African network is about to hit 100 000.

Facebook use doubles in South Africa in 30 days. Believe it. I’ve been watching the stats climb on the South African facebook network very closely. There were just over 96 000 facebook users registered on the South Affrican facebook network yesterday. Today we have 98 011 South African users on fabcebook and those are only the ones who have shared their location with us on their facebook profiles.

Have a look at your facebook friends from South Africa and see how many of them have (No Network) set. Drop them a message or poke them and please ask them to update. Would be really interesting to see how many more South African facebook users their really are.

I’ve just refreshed the South African Network page on Facebook, make that
98 025. Of my 133 friends on Facebook, 95% who are South African, only 79 are shown to be on the South African network.

    I’m sure there are more, half of my friends aren’t registered on the SA network…

    If I join the SA network, won’t it be possible for everyone in that network to view my profile?

    only reason why i haven’t joined.

    on another note, i’m using my e61 to read your blog. Is it possible to make a mobile friendly version of your blog?

    or can you recommend an rss reader for symbian?

    Yo Henk,

    Not necessarily – you can control who sees your profile (very finely grained!) in your ‘Privacy’ settings.

    There are more than 90 people from George on Facebook! If you take into account that we struggle to get more than 10 people at our MyXchange meetings, then that is quite a feat! Funny thing is only 3 myXchange members are on Facebook.

    It is a phenomenon thats for sure! I do not like Facebook. It is much like Windows. I might not like it, but have to develop software for clients on it, since 95% of my clients use it. So if you want to reach the online SA community, Facebook is definitely the place to go!
