Facebook To Surpass 500 Million Users This Week
Eric Calouro | Jul 18, 2010 | Comments 1
It’s most certainly been a while since we’ve last written about the incredible amount of users Facebook’s managed to pull into their social network, and things are only getting much larger (the last time we reported on this was months ago. According to AllThingsDigital, Facebook will announce their 500th million user later this week, and also reveal a little something called Facebook Stories — a compilation of stories as to how Facebook has changed users’ lives.
Users are already able to submit their stories via a form put together and posted by the social network. That form can be accessed by following this link.
More information with regard to this is coming soon. Stay tuned.

Facebook has been currently blocking thousands of users for adding people that have been suggesting to us as friends as well as adding family members, and people that we do indeed know. They have also been warning and blocking people for accepting friend requests as well. This is done by an automated system devised by Caroline Ghiossi from user operations as an anti-spam tool that supposedly detects the speed and frequency to which you add and accept requests regardless of who those people are. It doesn’t tell you when the block is lifted nor do they tell you the limit to which you can add or accept friend requests. Here is the facebook page that addresses this issue. It is now at 3,000 and growing. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Stop-blocking-me-for-adding-friends-you-suggested-Facebook/127620077272467?ref=ts Facebook has refused to address this problem and we need somebody to have them answer for it!!!
