Logging off for good: Computer users concerned for their privacy are choosing to shut down the Facebook accounts.(dailymail.co.uk) |

Tired of social networking? Logging off Facebook? You’re probably not the only one. Fearing for their privacy or perhaps just bored with using the site, 100,000 Britons are said to have deactivated their accounts last month. And Facebook fatigue seems to be catching. Six million logged off for good in the US too, figures show. Worldwide, the rate of growth has slowed for a second month in a row – and as it aims to reach its goal of one billion active users, Facebook is having to rely on developing countries to boost its numbers. The figures suggest that there could be a ‘natural limit’ for Facebook’s saturation. There is even speculation on blogs that, as is feared for its failing rival MySpace, the website could one day ‘sputter into oblivion’. Earlier this year, executives announced that the number of Facebook accounts held in the UK had reached 30million, accounting for about half the population. The milestone was an increase of four million from last July and represented the highest saturation of any country in Europe. But times change – and last month more than 100,000 in the UK stopped using the website, figures show. In the U.S, user numbers dropped from 155.2million to 149.4 million throughout May. In Canada there was also a fall, of about 1.5million users, while in Russia and Norway numbers also fell by more than 100,000 users. It’s not all bad news for the site. Worldwide, Facebook is still expanding and has around 600million users, thanks to strong growth in countries such as Mexico and Brazil. According to Eric Eldon, of the website Inside Facebook, which obtained the figures through analysis of the company’s advertising tools, there is a point at which the site can no longer grow, once it has established itself in a country. ‘By the time Facebook reaches around 50 per cent of the total population in a given country, growth generally slows to a halt,’ he explained.

厭倦了社交網(wǎng)站？注銷了Facebook賬戶？這么做的人可不只你一個(gè)。 據(jù)稱，因擔(dān)心隱私外泄或者只是厭倦了使用社交網(wǎng)站，英國(guó)上月有十萬(wàn)人注銷了Facebook賬戶。 “Facebook疲勞”似乎也能傳染。數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國(guó)也有六百萬(wàn)人永久注銷了賬戶。 從全球來(lái)看，F(xiàn)acebook用戶量的增速已連續(xù)第二個(gè)月出現(xiàn)下滑。Facebook的目標(biāo)是活躍用戶達(dá)到10億，但現(xiàn)在不得不依靠發(fā)展中國(guó)家來(lái)增加用戶量了。 數(shù)據(jù)顯示，F(xiàn)acebook用戶量的飽和度有“天然上限”。 還有人發(fā)表博文，擔(dān)心Facebook將來(lái)會(huì)像其衰敗的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手MySpace一樣“星光璀璨，而又迅速隕滅”。 今年早些時(shí)候，F(xiàn)acebook高管宣布英國(guó)用戶量達(dá)到三千萬(wàn)，占全英總?cè)丝诘囊话搿?/p> 與去年七月相比，英國(guó)Facebook用戶量增加了四百萬(wàn)，堪稱里程碑。英國(guó)的Facebook用戶飽和度目前在歐洲居首。 但如今局勢(shì)生變，僅在上月英國(guó)就有超過(guò)10萬(wàn)人注銷了賬戶。在美國(guó)，F(xiàn)acebook用戶量在五月從1.552億人下降到1.494億人。加拿大用戶量也減少了大約150萬(wàn)人。在俄羅斯和挪威，用戶量也減少了超過(guò)10萬(wàn)人。 但對(duì)Facebook來(lái)說(shuō)也有好消息。從全球來(lái)看，F(xiàn)acebook的用戶量仍在上升，約為6億人，這有賴于墨西哥、巴西等國(guó)用戶量的大量增長(zhǎng)。 美國(guó)科技博客網(wǎng)站Inside Facebook的埃里克?埃爾登介紹稱，F(xiàn)acebook在某一國(guó)家面世后，用戶量的增長(zhǎng)存在上限。該網(wǎng)站通過(guò)公司的廣告工具分析得出了上述數(shù)據(jù)。 他解釋說(shuō)：“Facebook在某個(gè)國(guó)家的用戶量達(dá)到人口總量的大約一半后，就逐漸停止增長(zhǎng)了。” 相關(guān)閱讀 社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)現(xiàn)代溝 年輕人好友以千計(jì) 網(wǎng)上約會(huì)有技巧 上傳照片學(xué)問(wèn)大 扎克伯格結(jié)束Facebook“單身”狀態(tài) 英國(guó)3千萬(wàn)人用Facebook 占總?cè)丝谝话?/a> 1/4英國(guó)人大部分社交活動(dòng)在網(wǎng)上進(jìn)行 美國(guó)父母擔(dān)憂社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)危及孩子隱私 （中國(guó)日?qǐng)?bào)網(wǎng)英語(yǔ)點(diǎn)津 Julie 編輯： 馮明惠） |
