500k Plus Facebook Users in Toronto

Toronto leads the world in Facebook users with over 516 000 users. Second place is New York City with just over 200 000 users.
Before we start getting all uppity and proud let’s remember these points.
1. It’s Facebook
2. The amount of University’s in the GTA
3. Demographics and Geography
4. Broadband Access in the GTA is one of the highest in the world
5. It’s Toronto…..nothing better to do

To expand on number 3. Unless you are from Ottawa you are basically going to be apart of the Toronto network. Who is proud of being from Sudbury or Hamilton? That makes a possible 15 million members for the Toronto network compared to New York’s 12 million.

Canadian wireless provider Rogers is already pushing mobile Facebook use on their phones. They have also made wireless data cheaper to make it easier for all you addicted people….myself included.

Other Canadian cities in the top 20 included Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal, Halifax, Edmonton.
