Facebook Reaches 1 Billion Users!

There are now an amazing 1 billion people using this social networking site called Facebook every single month each year!

Facebook is a social networking site that was launched in February 2004. Facebook lets people around the world chat and communicate to each other by this networking site. Facebook also lets you play different types of games as well!

The Facebook founder called Mark Zuckerberg made this spectacular announcement on the American TV on Thursday (4th October 2012). Mark posted this on his profile not so long back:

“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.”

Because of this huge and magnificent announcement, Facebook have released a special online video to celebrate the billion users on Facebook.

Right now there are currently a whopping 243 million users on Facebook in Europe. The highest number coming directly from us, the UK! However Facebook isn’t as popular across some other countries as China and Russia don’t use Facebook anywhere near as much as what we do in the UK.
