"users are sharing 1 billion items per day"

"the network has already accumulated 13 percent of Facebook’s 750 million users in two weeks"

Now, that's impressive

It would be more impressive if TechCrunch were better at math... 13% of Facebook's monthly active users would be 100 million, not 10 million.

I was thinking this too. How could the editor not catch this?

They don't have editors.

10 / 750 equal to 1.3%

Am I missing something?

Nope. Techcrunch just did their math wrong.

Still, 10MM users in 2 Weeks in a closed-invite-beta. I know, they have a 1B userbase but it means something is really buzzing this time.

Sharing a billion items per day is obviously false as it would imply 100 items shared per user on average.

Unless they're counting everyone you're sharing to as a different "share"?

That must be how they are counting it. If larry page shares or +1's 10 things, then it would count as 1M shares.

I doubt they're counting once per recipient, but people could easily be sharing 100 items on average if you count photos , reshares, and +1's.
