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.
