Facebook cracks billion mark within one day
According to Facebook, the online network has broken the one billion user mark in a single day for the first time. "We've just passed an important milestone," wrote company boss Mark Zuckerberg on his website on Thursday.
On Monday, one in seven people on the planet used the social network, Zuckerberg announced. This was the "first time" that Facebook had been accessed by one billion people within one day, "and this is just the beginning", Zuckerberg added.
Last month, Facebook announced that the number of monthly active users had grown by 13 percent year-on-year to 1.49 billion. 968 million of them used Facebook every day. The number of people accessing Facebook via cell phone rose to 1.31 billion, according to the figures. (SDA)
