Facebook Sees Big Traffic Drops in US and Canada as It Nears 700 Million Users Worldwide

Is this the downfall of facebook? read more here..

Facebook Sees Big Traffic Drops in US and Canada as It Nears 700 Million Users Worldwide: "Why the drop? Most prominently, the United States lost nearly 6 million users, falling from 155.2 million at the start of May to 149.4 million at the end of it. This is the first time the country has lost users in the past year. Canada also fell significantly, by 1.52 million down to 16.6 million, although it has been fluctuating around that number for the past year. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom, Norway and Russia all posted losses of more than 100,000. If these countries — most of whom had adopted Facebook many years ago — had not lost users, and instead posted even small gains, Facebook would have had a much more typical month."

Time to Hack: USB stick-sized computer runs web, email, costs $25


The diminutive device has a single USB input for a keyboard or mouse (or a USB hub to expand those options), HDMI monitor output, 128MB of memory, and an SD card slot for storage. The pint-sized PC is capable of web browsing, word processing, email, and many other standard computer features.
