Colbert Facebook Statistics - 1.3 New Members per Second

NOTE: WRITTEN ON SATURDAY 10/27 AT 6:00 PM

As Colbert 2008 points out, the 1,000,000 Strong for Stephen T Colbert now has 1,109,100 members.

The Facebook group was created 10/17/2007 at 5 PM and reached 1 million members 5:54 AM 10/26/2007. Although they didn’t make their original goal of 1 million members in a week, they came pretty damn close. Not only that, but the group is the fastest growing Facebook group ever.

Let’s do some math.

1,109,100 members / 241 hours = 4602.07469 members/hour
4602.07469 / 60 = 76.7012448 members/minute
76.7012448 / 60 = 1.3 members/second

That mean’s by the time you finish reading this sentence, a bunch of new members will have joined.

That’s a lot, right?
