I chose this data visualization since it showed how popular face book has become over the past years, and how the co founder of the company Mark Zuckenberg, has become a self made billionaire according to Forbes. Half of Facebook users have more than 200 friends meaning it's becoming popular every day. An interesting statistic regarding 24 million people in United Kingdom log on to Facebook which was increasingly high. 556 million people access Facebook on their mobile devices or tablets. I liked how the graph showed the average monthly users using a bar graph. It was pretty easy to read and understand. I didn't like how the article didn't talk much about the Facebook messenger app which seemed to become pretty popular recently and how that has affected Facebook users over the past year. The bar graph showed a clear estimate of users, it was clear and accurate. By the end of 2013,Facebook had 1.23 billion monthly active users worldwide. adding 170m in just one year.
