There are now 20 million Facebook users in the UK according to the Facebook Advertising platform.
The latest total was reached very recently and is up by over 10 million unique users from January 2008 (18 months ago). Even more staggering though, Facebook User numbers in the UK are also up by 1 million users on a month ago. The Facebook August 2009 User figures certianly make for interesting reading.
We have also conducted further research into Facebook user stats and Facebook user demographics in the UK.
Below are graphs of key UK Facebook user demographic breakdowns.
Average Age of UK Facebook users
It is often thought that Facebook is a Social Network for teens, this is clearly not the case. It is the twenty-somethings that by far top the age group for most usage with almost 7 million users in the UK. There are also almost 9 million Facebook users in the UK who are aged 30+, almost 44% of users.
Facebook Gender Split
The usage by gender in the UK is fairly even but there are still more women using the social networking site. Making up about 51%, with men at approximately 46% and 3% unknown.
Facebook Usage by Towns & Cities
The stats above show usage by hometown and network combined. Interestingly, Manchester currently has more users than London on the network. Cardiff was by far the largest city in Wales for Facebook usage. Edinburgh represented Scotland as the city with the highest user figures in the country.

Speculation continues to spread within Search Marketing circles as to whether or not Yahoo and Microsoft are planning to work together in some capacity. Even following the collapse of Microsoft’s efforts to acquire Yahoo for a massive $44 billion over a year ago rumours have reignited about the two companies working together following the recent launch of microsoft’s latest Search/Decision Engine Bing. This has been further fuelled by comments made from executives from both companies.
It is now thought the pair are looking to combine to create a more effective rival to search engine giants Google. Bing is said to be set to become the search provider on Yahoo.com allowing the two companies to compete for further market share and inventory.
A recent report from AdAge suggests that a deal is likely to be announced this week and could potentially give Microsoft up to a 30% share of the international search market. According to the report the deal would be structured as below:
“Yahoo would be allowed to sell search ads on Bing.com as well as its own site, giving it more search inventory to sell and making it a bigger player in the search sales front. It would also immediately be able to save millions by not having to maintain its own search infrastructure. The latest terms of the deal underscore Microsoft’s devotion to developing and owning technology vs. selling media.”
Basically, the idea behind this would be to cut Yahoo’s costs whilst opening a much larger revenue stream. In addition, the deal would allow Microsoft the opportunity to become a bigger player in the search market.
However, this deal is far from secured and until both parties can happily agree on way to effectively work together in may take time for this arrangement to be hugely positive for the businesses. Remember, both Yahoo and Microsoft have desperately struggled to organically improve market share by any meaningful percentages over the past few years and a deal between the two is unlikely to change this insantly.
Microsoft still have to ensure that Bing is a much much better product than Google for any significant changes yet.
