Lots of Toronto faces on Facebook
Lots of Toronto faces on Facebook

Now, I know that 11% doesn't seem like a lot of people, but consider this...... 5.7 million people live in Toronto.  That means that about 570,000 people in Toronto are on the online social club, according to Three Minds on Digital Marketing.

"The buzz in Toronto this past week is all about Facebook – as of 2pm this afternoon, Toronto has 573,355 people in the Toronto, ON network on Facebook – that’s 11% of the population of the greater Toronto metro area (GTA) and is the largest regional network on Facebook by a significant margin.

Ryan Feeley has created a comparative table of major metros on his blog.   To put this into perspective, Toronto has more Facebook members than New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco combined (the combined population of those cities is almost 9 times the size of Toronto). This phenomenon extends beyond Toronto to the rest of Canada too – both Calgary and Montreal have 8% of their population on Facebook.  It also extends beyond the major metropolitan regions to small towns across the entire country."
