11. More People Use Facebook In The USA Than Voted In The Last American Presidential Election
A total of 129,085,403 people voted during the 2012 US Presidential Election - a turnout of 58.2% of the American electorate. Yet, incredibly, more people are now on Facebook in the USA than voted that year. There are believed to be close to 140million Facebook users in the US - and, seeing as the population is roughly 320million, that means that almost half of those who live in the US use the social-networking site now.
