Sample bias?
1 comments

I don't follow - you're saying this poll is biased because of HN readers? I'd argue (though it isn't my poll) that it's purpose is not to find how many people in the world use Facebook, but to find out how many HN-type people use Facebook, meaning that hosting the poll on HN gets it answered by the exact target audience.
