A recent statistic caught us off guard. The following are the top five countries in the world by population:

1. China — 1.33 billion
2. India — 1.17 billion
3. United States — 307 million
4. Indonesia — 230 million
5. Brazil — 191 million

If Facebook were a country, it would be No. 4 in this list. The wunderkind of social networking has topped 250 million users worldwide. Nearly half of those users log on to the Web site every day.

And to think that Facebook barely existed five years ago.

And to think that Facebook still hasn’t figured out how to make much money yet.
