facebook growth

3,814,540 users in 2007 5,674,780 growth in kids 0-17 in 2009

2,826,660 in 2007 11,254,700 growth of 25-34 year olds in 2009

35-54 in 2007 680,260 In 2009 6,989,200

55+ in 2007 164,620 in 2009 954,680

Females in 2007 9,778,140 In 2009 23,429,960 females

I find these trends interesting because there is an older crowd of people joining facebook. In the 35-54 year old there is over a 200% increase in people joined. The college crowd it started with is not the growing number of users. The college students age group is not the one bring in the most new users. So the target of facebook might grow to an older crowd. Also the female population in face book has more then doubled. Meaning that females are on facebook and could focus and trraget these appealing to females.
