Facebook is Viral in Israel: Now Approaching 150,000 people on the Israel Network

Back at the end of June there were about 18,000 people on the Israel Network on Facebook. This number grew to about 74,000 when I spoke at VON Israel on October 14th. Eleven days later the network grew by 35% and surpassed 100,000. And sometime today on November 10th the number will pass 150,000, representing another 50% growth in only 16 days. These numbers are amazing to me considering that English is a second language in Israel.

Any predictions on what the facebook penetration in Israel will look like in six months?

I am happy that I can share my opinion of the
undeserved plight of a nation that my GOD said HE
would restore and make examples of their enemies
for the whole world to be in awe of.
I'm hoping to see this transpire in my lifetime
and as a matter of fact in the next few weeks.
One that believes procrastination is dangerous,
I will encourage ISRAEL to be proactive in the best
interests of HERSELF! NOW IS ISRAEL! shalom:
