Well around a thousand of them at least.
Facebook boffins will do well to check out the Facebook Demographics analysis tool that is available hidden deep inside the ubiquitous social networking website. While reaching the tool is a pain, it is well worthwhile as hours of fun and frolic proceed forthwith. These are some of the key learnings this blog was able to attain after spending much of this morning with the tool:
1. No. of people on Facebook in India: 808640
2. No. of Indian males: 441,480
3. No. of Indian females: 317,520
4. No. of Indian Facebookers with mysterious ambiguous genders: 49,640
Now the cool stuff: (All for Indians on Facebook.)
5. No. of men interested in women: 160,060
6. No. of women who said they are interested in men: 37,740 (Ah... women. Sigh.)
7. No. of men interested in men: 2,160
8. No. of women interested in women: 1,980
Now for the really cool stuff:
9. No. of married women interested in men: 2,080 (Oh??)
10. No. of married men interested in women: 26,560 (Oh yeah baby!)
11. No. of married men interested in men: 140
12. No. of married women interested in women: 280 (Disclaimer: They may have been looking for company to go to the restroom.)
13. Indians on Facebook between the ages of 50 and 65: 11,080
14. No. of men who like Salman Rushdie: 120
15. No. of men who like Baywatch: 340
16. No. of men who like Sex And The City: 980 (Holy Ralph Lauren and Manolo Blahnik!)
And then of course we decided to search for the holy grail of male, geeky, online social networking: the ideal geek babe:
As Shakespeare himself once did not say: "Nay shall ye abandon hope fair geek brothers. For thy bullet-time loving maidens exist verily!"
