Not content with owning the English speaking world, Facebook.com has announced a Spanish version of its popular social network service. Facebook users can change over to Spanish starting on Monday when the option will appear in their account settings.
Facebook's main rival MySpace already supports Spanish, French, German and Italian, including a site for U.S. Spanish speakers and another for French Canadians.

60% of Facebook's 64 million users live outside the United States including 7 million that live in Canada (suggesting that nearly a third of Canadians use it). More to the point, 2.8 million of those international users live in Latin America or Spain plus there is a growing population of Spanish-speaking people who live inside the United States.

I reverted it back to avoid the í tag popping up in unwanted places. Just picture the accent in your mind.

It was just a joke sir.
Too bad it didn't stick to it's roots and only allow college students join
And they say that Americans are ignorant... shame to see people from my own country displaying such bigottry!
nemo, they're going for global market share -- they don't care about the quality, only quantity -- so they've since shed their exclusivity. Ironically, many people believe the next big social network (with staying power) is the one catering ONLY to college/university/alumni students and personnel. Everything else is practically done already.
My opinion is this: Fb will keep growing until they are MySpace's size... which is the size of Internet users bored enough to open an account and only use it until its trumped. MySpace will flame out when Fb has taken over its market share; Fb will begin to flame out after the Next Social Network + Service platform is released.
