Just now at Le Web in Paris Ethan Beard (Director, Facebook Developer Network) disclosed some interesting facts about Facebook but no news at all. In one sentence this is what he announced: Facebook connect is very cool, lots of people use it.

No company has an obligation to announce new stuff at conferences. But I couldn’t help feeling unsatisfied to listen to nothing more than a product pitch.

Anyway, here are a few entertaining, sexy and thrilling facts about facebook:

About the developer platform:
2,5 years since developer platform went live. 250 million users use applications every months. There are 1 million developer who have built 500k applications.
