How come Facebook does not count deactivations? Or what about people with more than one account. I have no doubt there are 300 million profiles set up. Facebook isn't popular, people are popular. But I don't think there are 300 million actual people on there. I alone have more than one profile, how many others?

If everyone has 2 account for example then there are only 125 million people (real people) on Facebook. Take away the hundreds of Barrack O Bama profiles and what's left. And dose Facebook take note of deactivation numbers? Type 'facebook' and 'deactivate' into Twitter search. You'll get a shock.
