Armenian Facebook user hits the like button 13 times a month

YEREVAN, June 29. /ARKA/.  A Facebook user from Armenia hits the like button on the social networking website 13 times a month on average, a cyber security expert Samvel Martirosyan wrote on his page.

The like button on the social networking website enabled first in February, 2009, allows users to easily interact with status updates, comments, photos, links shared by friends, and advertisements. Once clicked by a user, the designated content appears in the news feeds of that user's friends, and the button also displays the number of other users who have liked the content, including a full or partial list of those users. The like button was extended to comments in June 2010

"There are more than one million users over 18 from Armenia registered on Facebook. Each of them hits the like button 13 times a month  and makes 2 comments.  Remember, there are a lot of people on Facebook, but most people prefer to keep silent,"  he wrote.

Facebook Newsroom said on June 27 that  thirteen years after launching and less than five years after hitting  one billion, Facebook now has 2 billion monthly active users.

Facebook's growth has increasingly come from outside the United States, Canada and Europe. Three years ago, those regions accounted for 38 percent of users; in the first quarter of this year, the figure was about 30 percent. Facebook users hit the like button 800 million times a day.-0-
