A Little in English
940,000 Norwegians on Facebook

The internet society Facebook.com has now more than 938,000 Norwegian users, according to the website's own numbers. Norway is the fifth largest Facebookcountry in the world after the US, Great Britain, Canada and Australia. In relation to total population this makes Norway the world's most Facebook-crazy country.

Facebook is a social networking site where the users communicate with friends by setting up their own profiles where they can write about themselves, post pictures and send messages to other users. Facebook was originally made for university students and employees in the US, but has since spread to other areas of use, including friends, schools and geographic areas. The service is financed by advertising, and free for the user.

Facebook is more than three years old, but in Norway the interest around Facebook increased dramatically in the first half of 2007. Around the New Year 2006-2007 there were 3000 registered Norwegian users, and in October of the same year the number had increased to something closer to 940,000. The site is especially popular among students.

"It's almost social suicide not to be on Facebook right now," said one student to Forbruker.no.

Litt på norsk
940.000 nordmenn på Facebook

Nettsamfunnet Facebook.com har nå mer enn 938.000 norske brukere, ifølge nettstedets egne tall. Norge er det femte største Facebook-landet i verden etter USA, Storbritannia, Canada og Australia. I forhold til folketall gjør dette Norge til verdens mest Facebook-gale land.


Facebook er et sosialt nettverk hvor brukerne kommuniserer med venner ved å opprette sin egen profil der de kan skrive om seg selv, poste bilder og sende beskjeder til andre brukere.   Facebook var opprinnelig laget for universitetsstudenter og -ansatte i USA, men har siden spredt seg til andre bruksområder, inkludert venner, skoler og geografiske områder.  Tjenesten er reklamefinanisert, og gratis for brukeren.

Facebook er mer enn tre år gammelt, men i Norge økte interessen rundt Facebook drastisk i første halvdel av 2007. Rundt årskiftet 2006-2007 var det registrert 3000 norske brukere, og i oktober samme året var tallet steget til et sted rundet 940.000. Nettsamfunnet er særlig populær blant studenter.


Det er jo nærmest sosialt selvmord ikke å være på Facebook for tiden, sa en student til Forbruker.no.

Bethesda Home visit.
Gene and Tordis Kaczmarek thank all the volunteers from Skjold and Leif Erikson lodges who spent several hours at the Bethesda Home providing residents with an enjoyable afternoon.  The Julekake from the Swedish Bakery and the homemade cookies from the volunteers were very delicious - everyone enjoyed the treats. The Leikaringen Dancers provided entertainment and there was a sing-a-long with Wendell and Lorrie Brenner leading the group.  Everyone had a good time and it was a good effort by the two lodges.  We would also like to extend a special thank you to Alfhild Kronborg for making all the arrangements with Bethesda.
