Earlier this week, Comscore posted details about Facebook’s meteoric rise in users and their shift from posting drunken college photos to drunken post grad photos. College Humor has answered back with a study about what those people behind the statistics are doing.
They polled close to 26,000 students (1/1,000 of the users), finding out how many users actually read every book on their profile, or got laid thanks to Zuckerberg’s “social graph”. Here are some of the gems:
- 65% have checked up on an ex boyfriend or girlfriend using Facebook.
- 15.5% of men and 1.6% of women have “gratified themselves” to Facebook.
- Zuckerberg helped 19.9% of men and 11.4% of women hookup.
- 68.2% of women judged others while on Facebook. 61.9% of men cast stones.
- 36.9% of women and 36% of men have considered quiting the service.
- About 90% of men and women see using Facebook in the next year, while a third of each see themselves still using it in five
ORLY! This is newsworthy because….?
If 36% of men and women have considered quitting the service, I wonder what the actual attrition rate is. That is, what percent of people that sign up actually end up deleting their accounts. Anyone know?

what has been interesting about facebook is the amount of high school kids who have jumped on the train. i signed up probably a year and a half ago, at that time there were zero high school kids.
Now it seems like I am getting befriended by one of my little brother or sister’s hs friends on a daily basis.
…15.5% of men and 1.6% of women have “gratified themselves”….
what’s wrong w/the word masturbate…
“…from posting drunken college photos to drunken post grad photos”
Making it “…from posting drunken college photos to collages of drunken post grad photos” would be bit more complete.
Facebook is a joke.

John fine comment! May be you want to improvise on it next time
Kind of a funny response ; very collegiate
sam, a year and a half ago only people with .edu email addresses were able to sign up for facebook. it wasn’t until recently that facebook was opened up to all users.
brilliant! (hey where’s my beer?)
So 8.5% of men were hooking up with each other……
……or were they lying about getting laid…….like guys have never done that before………………..
oh and can someone please supply me a list of those 11.4% of women that said they hooked up………I’m guessing the girls that admitted to it are quite friendly.
