“Rethinking Information Diversity in Networks”
https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-data-team/rethinking-
information-diversity-in-networks/10150503499618859
“The research suggests that Facebook isn’t the echo chamber that
some might expect – online social networks actually increase the
spread of novel information and diverse viewpoints.”
“The information we consume and share on
Facebook is actually much more diverse in
nature than conventional wisdom might
suggest. We are exposed to and spread more
information from our distant contacts than our
close friends. Since these distant contacts
tend to be different from us, the bulk of
information we consume and share comes
from people with different perspectives.”

update the active-users count, though
mathematics suggests it is 15 million.”

paying 120 dollars, pounds or Euros every
year, which is around twice the amount

download service every year.”
