It’s no longer just survival of the fittest, but also survival of the fitting.

Are you among the 20-30% of the Facebook population that’s considered power users? If you’ve logged in to the social network already today, there’s a good chance you are one of the addicted elite. This infographic, created by DemandForce, details what it means to be a Facebook power user.

On the contrary, only 5% of users excel in four or more of the core Facebook actions. Still convinced you’re at the top? As a power user, you also “like” content an average of 14 times per month, as well as share nine status updates and contribute 21 comments in that same time period.
