ok, so:

#1 how is it possible that there is 0% users in China.. IF they truly believe NOONE in China has facebook account, then any other of those numbers could be made out of the blue as well.

#2 Why is it soo important to attach Zynga everywhere they disclose info? is it some sort of Zynga-FB agreement or what?

#3 David Fischer is missing comma after "VP"

#4 Peter Thiel, James Breyer, Reed Hastings, Erskine Bowles, Donald Graham -- what are they "Directors" of?

#5 Frequency of words appearing in S-1: second place: mobile. This is a HUGE indicator to anyone thinking about startup... things ARE and will continue to happen over the mobile device more and more. This sound trivia, but think about another indicator: your startup idea versus mobile.




The actual Facebook report says on page 49: "[...] in China, where Facebook access is restricted, we have near 0% penetration."

So they definitely know people are using it there.


It would be limited to the Chinese who have access to a VPN and can speak English, and have a social group of foreigners.

There are also alternative Chinese social networks where their friends are, and without the added chore of finding a VPN service which they can pay without a non-Chinese PayPal account or credit card.
