Whether it's international competition or mere coincidence, we're overjoyed. We're so excited, in fact, that we're going to be opening an office in London as thanks to our dedicated users. We also want to support the growing demand for advertising on the site by UK advertisers.

The UK is also growing on a national scale; in terms of unique users, it's currently the third biggest country on Facebook (coming in just behind Canada) and it is the fastest growing international market we have. The UK also contributed over 5.5 billion page views in the month of August, which means everyone out there saw an average of 1,100 Facebook pages. That means you'll probably look at 35 Facebook pages today, and this blog post is already 1/35 of your daily dose. Hopefully you'll enjoy the other 34 pages as much as this one.

Natalie Minor, soon to be in the London office, is hoping you appreciate how much the growth charts resemble the Tube map.
