Facebook in Print

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to print out Facebook, a UK online cartridge retailer has done the research for you.  Their survey found that just a year’s worth of Facebook status updates (with 800 million users posting once a day) will be the equivalent of 11.5 billion sheets of paper.

Cartridge Save’s infographic helpfully notes that this much paper would create half a million Oxford English Dictionaries – and the printout would take 573 million hours to read.  The cost would be considerable as well – $194.5 million for the ink alone.  Based on a study of 2,102 UK Facebook users, this spin of Facebook usage facts presents a unique view on just how big the social network is.
