Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his wall today to confirm that the social networking site now has over a billion active users.
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.
Zuckerberg also released a fact sheet on the one billion users. Here are the highlights:
Over 1.13 trillion likes
Over 600 million mobile users
140.3 billion friend connections
219 billion photos uploaded
17 billion location-tagged posts, including check-ins
62.6 million songs have been played 22 billion times – that’s about 210,000 years of music
The median age of the user is about 22
The top five countries where people connected from at the time we reached this milestone were Brazil, India, Indonesia,
Mexico and the United States (in alphabetical order)

It spreads even faster than a virus. Cool social networking! I see twitter overpowering Facebook soon just the same way Facebook overpowered and made MySpace almost completely useless. The pirate bay not a social network but still remain my favourite website! #weapon for mass distribution
