nytimes.com — When Facebook signed up its 100 millionth member last August, its employees spread out in two parks in Palo Alto, Calif., for a huge barbecue. Sometime this week, this five-year-old start-up, born in a dorm room at Harvard, expects to register its 200 millionth user. A staggering growth rate with Facebook doubling in size in just 8 months.

Dude, I accepted your moms friend request. She is a wonderful lady. Do you have any idea how much money I save, now that I no longer have to troll the erotic services section of Craigslist?

Hey, old folks can be cool, they might tell you to get off their lawn every now and then, but they still earn top marks

Investors only look at % growth rates. If Facebook had every user on the planet, but wasn't growing, the investors would bail to something that is growing. As in growing their money.That's how it works.

I work in corporate communication. No one tells me they need a phone anymore, but dammit if their mail is 3 minutes late then I hear about it.Email has effectively replaced the telephone.

Well, I don't, but then I'm like that. But if you were part of an organization and you posted about a protest, etc., it's pretty obvious.
