"These days, it feels like everyone has a Facebook account. According to Facebook&amp;#039;s latest statistics, that&amp;#039;s pretty close to the truth...for the most part. In the company&amp;#039;s first earnings report, Facebook reported over 955 million monthly active users. This figure comes close to the 1 billion user mark predicted for Facebook back in January. Once Facebook hits this milestone, that will equal one-seventh of the world&amp;#039;s population! Does that mean almost a billion people actually have Facebook accounts right now? Nope. In fact, the social-networking giant said that 8.7 percent\u2014or 83 million\u2014of those accounts are fakes or duplicates. Although the company bans tens of thousands accounts daily (mainly those of underage children), it is unknown how many more fake accounts they remove on a regular basis.  Are you surprised by these figures? Share in a comment below. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
