Facebook's user base is constantly growing and now it reaches more than 300 million active FaceBook users. With 50 million mobile users FaceBook wants you to stay connected to your friends and family where ever you go. The interesting fact is that FaceBook just recently started making profits (in 2009).
Enormous expenses and growing databases pushed FaceBook inventors to re-invent their advertising market. 2009 was the great year for FaceBook even this being the year of greatest recession since 1930's. We as users hope that FaceBook will continue working on privacy issues and never share our individual information with companies and government agencies. Shhhhh, soon we can expect voice chat directly from FaceBook.
One of the major points that Facebook scored over all of the other social networking sites, at least initially, was its stringent privacy settings that gave you a sense of security and safety regarding the contents of your profile on Facebook.
However, with the advent of Twitter and other such sites, Facebook might be in a mood to keep up with the growth of its competitors - and this might be why now Facebook content is easily accessible to strangers and gone are the days when you had a sense of privacy that only you and your exclusive friends shared on the network.
Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattaria. The name cockroach comes from the Spanish word cucaracha, chafer, beetle, from cuca "kind of caterpillar." The scientific name derives from the Latinized Greek name for the insect.
There are about 4,500 species of cockroach, of which 30 species are associated with human habitations and about four species are well known as pests.
Among the best-known pest species are the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, which is about 30 millimeters (1.2 in) long, the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, about 15 millimeters (0.59 in) long, the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai, also about 15 millimeters (0.59 in) in length, and the Oriental cockroach, Blatta oriental's, about 25 millimeters (0.98 in). Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger, and extinct cockroach relatives and 'roachoids' such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were not as large as the biggest modern species. They usually live alone only coming together to mate.
The more interesting fact about Cockroaches is that they can live 9 days without their heads before they starve to death.
Cockroaches have a high tolerance to radiation and are the most likely creature to survive a nuclear war.
The cockroach is the fastest animal on six legs - covering 1 meter in a second.
