While most Facebook Pages with over 1 million fans are devoted to performers, celebrities, and brands, FMyLife.com, or FML as it is widely known, has become the first website to hit 1 million Facebook fans. The site is a collection of entries that chronicle the normal and not-so-normal events that make us call into question exactly why it is we get up each day.

The FMyLife.com site already had a healthy following, and the fact that it offers an easy way to share individual posts from the site in news feeds has helped carry that popularity across to Facebook. Posts on FML.com are the perfect viral material, and they’ve been shared and re-shared on Facebook, increasing the site’s popularity with Facebook users.

While FML can be a great way to find a good laugh every now and then, many of the entries are downright depressing. So does the site’s popularity infer that many Facebook users share some sort of morbid curiosity? Maybe not.

As Facebook continues to evolve in many directions, it’s important to remember the core principles of what made it so popular. Facebook is a great way to share compelling content with friends in an unobtrusive and very viral way.
