Discover and explore the profile pictures of all 1.15 billion members in ONE place and see where you fit in the history of the site!
The Faces of Facebook interactive image lets you browse the public profile pictures of 1.15 billion members
Its designer claims it would take 36 years, 5 months, 9 days and 6 hours to view all of the images individually
Members can find their own image by connecting a Facebook account to the Faces of Facebook app
All the pictures are shown in chronological order and the number of a face is their member number
Users can also search for a friend's name to see whether they joined the social network before or after them
It may just look like a webpage of television static, but the picture below is in fact the profile pictures of every single Facebook member from across the world, in one place. All 1.15 billion of them.
The Faces of Facebook online app has scanned the public profile images of each member, which equates to one seventh of the Earth's population, and its makers claim that if you were to browse all of them individually it would take 36 years, 5 months, 9 days, 6 hours, 46 minutes and 16 seconds.
Each face has been added to the site in chronological order, based on the date in which they joined the site, and if a user connects their account to the app, it will tell them their Face Number.
