Well, the number of Australians on Facebook has shot through the roof. After sitting on 6 million for a while, we have 7,900,000 monthly active users, 6,900,000 over 18 years old. That’s quite a jump. Or maybe it’s been longer than I thought since I last checked. If you hunt through this blog, you’ll notice that I’ve been tracking Facebook users in Australia since May 2007 (around 200,000 members I think) to today and 1/3 of Australian population.

It just keeps increasing. Here’s the description of a Monthly Active User according to Facebook, as well as the August figures for Australians on Facebook. If you want to track the Australians on Facebook yourself, pretend to create an ad, fill in the fields and you’ll see similar to above screen.

    Amazing statistics. I wonder what the next bubble will be. As a counsellor based in Melbourne I can’t tell you how much facebook has become a part of peoples lives. It can certainly be a significant source of stress and anxiety for some of my clients.

    When I log in to Facebook I hardly encounter Australian members the most active ones seem to be the Italians.
    How can I get to know the Australians who use Facebook?

    The number of Australian Facebook users just keeps growing over 10.7 million as of 28 January 2012. No wonder Google is working hard on promoting Google+
