‎Oh Canada...‎
من ‎Nico Vera‎‏ 17 مايو، 2007‏، الساعة 12:54 مساءً‏
If you were to check out the Toronto, ON network page, you'd notice that the Toronto network has over half a million members—a huge chunk of the explosive growth Facebook has recently seen in Canada (2 million Canadian users—or 10% of the Facebook population—and counting).

Soon after the launch of network pages, I started a new topic on the Toronto Discussion Board where I asked Torontonians what factors they thought contributed to the growth of the Toronto Facebook network. Since then, several enthusiastic members have posted their theories, ranging from the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) coverage, and word of mouth, to the explosive media coverage Facebook has been receiving.
‎How does growth in Canada compare to other non-U.S. countries? This graph shows weekly shares of total users by country of affiliation for non-U.S. users. Since the beginning of 2007, the number of Canadian users has nearly doubled in relative presence on Facebook!‎

There may not be one single reason why Facebook is so popular in Canada, but rather a combination of tipping-point factors that continue to make networks like Toronto so unique in terms of growth. The best part is that as more people in Toronto join, the more relevance Facebook has for everyone involved, as it becomes more and more likely that all your friends are members. On behalf of all the Facebook Team, and as the resident Canadian, I want to say "Thanks Canada!".

P.S. A little internet video that made the rounds in the US in the last few months is now circulating in Canada. Just so everyone knows, Facebook is not selling any of your information. It never has and never will. Period.
