Facebook is now #1 in Green Canada

Filed under: About Facebook — by karel at 12:01 pm on Friday, July 20, 2007

Facebook just jumped into the top ranking for sites in Canada according to Alexa. The very top site by a blend of traffic and reach.

There is no reason why this shouldn’t happen in the U.S. and U.K. where FB is growing rapidly. I take personal credit for this because “I Am Green” has over 3000 active users from Canada ;-)

Facebook is also the 9th ranked global site at this moment, though it continues to bounce around 10th position. And finally Alexa has moved from “thefacebook: the college network” to “Facebook: A social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study, and live around them.” Better.

On Facebook and Green? new app has made 122,000 good acts easy with your friends

Over 8000 people have committed to 122,000 green lifestyle choices, with their friends. That’s 204,000 Leaves grown. All in just a few weeks, and only organically with zero press or blog coverage.
See “I Am Green”.

“I Am Green” is a networking application for facebook members about caring for the future of our planet by changing little things we do everyday. Members change small things about their every day lives, and share these ideas together. Some of the popular actions are using cold water instead of hot, switching to the right green products, and not using paper or plastic in many specific cases where habit draws us but it’s not needed. Members call their green actions ‘Leaves’ which they pile up. Their lists are displayed on their profile for all their friends to see and endorse or even copy. Its a smart way to find out about little things that will make a better tomorrow.’

Try “I Am Green”.
The facebook platform makes rich, social interaction possible. If you are Green, act on it, and be proud of it.
