It always boggles my mind the amount of hosting and data management companies like Google must require. Facebook probably has massive storage needs as well to handle all of these new accounts and content.

Seems facebook is a home now for those who wants to greet a holiday with their friends and families, but why not on messenger ? John's last blog post..Busby SEO Test the hard way

Maybe people were uploading their Christmas photos. That’s a posibility…

This year, instead of sitting by the tree and exchanging presents, we sat around our laptops and wrote on each other's walls. Merry Christmas! ZooLoo's last blog post..The Purrrrfect Time Waster

Luckily I skipped my Facebook account months ago so “no” I didn’t go there on Christmas eve. I am however amazed that they get 600.000 new users per day. That equals the population of my country in a matter of 11 days That’s insane!!

I appreciate that Milo, my post was a bit tongue in cheek, trying to spark some friendly debate

@PS3
Just because people are on facebook doesn’t mean they are interacting with people who they don’t know, or “virtual friends”. I for one only have people I know on facebook, and it is nice to wish them a happy new year when I would not usually see them
I say well done to FaceBook!

When you consider the general tendency to stay at home this past festive season, this is not very surprising. When you are not doing something that you have been doing for so long, due to economic reasons, Facebook comes in handy indeed.

2% of all internet users were hitting facebook. That’s insane. Probably everyone logging on to write “Merry Christmas” on 50,000 walls.

I agree with Andrew that the traffic bump was probably caused by people showing family members old friends or pictures of themselves. I know, because I showed a family member a picture that a friend took that I didn't have and was on facebook. Patrick's last blog post..Shower Water and Energy Use Calculator

I have to confess that I was guilty of logging onto facebook both on Christmas eve and on Christmas day. If you have loads of different friends and loved ones all over the planet it just makes communicating and managing relationships so much easier!
