  • Facebook hits 1 billion users

    Love it or hate it, that is certainly an incredible accomplishment.


    Facebook officially now has over 1 billion active monthly users, a new milestone for the world's largest social network.

    The update to the size of Facebook, founded only in 2004 from a college dorm room, was announced by founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statuts update on the morning of October 4.

    This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month.
    If you're reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you.

    Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.

    I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too.

    Facebook hit the long-sought, 10-digit user mark at precisely 12.45 p.m. PT on September 14. Approximately 1 in 7 people on Earth is on Facebook, given the U.S. Census Bureau's world population estimate of 7.04 billion.

    Who's the lucky one-billionth user? Not even Zuckerberg's sure if Facebook knows. In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek's Brad Stone and Ashlee Vance, the Facebook co-founder admits that the claim to 1 billion users is based on an estimate, not a true count.

        How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

          I'm not one of them...
          "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

              Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

              You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
