Facebook User Stats Are Now Available To Everyone

Interested in knowing how many 42 year olds in the United States are using Facebook? (32,240)  Or how many students from Northwestern University are on Facebook? (9,680) 

The most useful thing about yesterday's release of the Flyers Pro platform to the public is that it gives all of us access to dynamic, up to the second, data on tons of stats about Facebook users.  Until now, this information was not easily available to the public. 

Here's some top-line stats from this morning....

This is very cool. Interestingly, I am one of only 19,680 people on Facebook as defined by my age + marital status + sex + college degree. And while some mass marketers may scoff at that small number, I look at it and think, WOW, what an opportunity to target me and the other 19,679 educated married men in their 30s.

Insurance, Financial Services, Continuing Education, Health and Wellness, Concert Tickets, Baseball Fantasy Camp ... these are all marketers that would clean up with me and the 19,679 others.
