    You should read the quoted story again. 70% of the traffic comes from outside the US, not 70% of the users.

    Is this considered active users? I signed up years ago when sports stars and what not were talking about what they do everyday, and I thought it was interesting. Then I realized other peoples lives are quite boring, and I haven’t signed in for well over a year.

    Am I one of those 200 million??

      Pretty sure it’s based on traffic and not users.

    Ok now with that out the way, what the hell am I supposed to do with that statistic?

    By the way I have a big garden, 70% of it never gets used, another useless statistic, something for you to blog about BGR :) You can’t say I dont chip in every now and then.

    I’ve always wondered how many of the ’200 Million’ are spam accounts.
