Its all a bit too much I think. Facebook officially reached 1 billion monthly active users Sept. 14 at 12:45 p.m. PT, Co-Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed in a post on the social network’s Newsroom.
Check out the video Facebook released to celebrate 1 Billion Members.

They went with a theme of Chairs, doorbells, bridges, airplanes. These are things that people use to get together and connect. Weird? I think its completely unrelated and stupid.

If you want to know what the next big thing is going to be send us an email and will give you an exclusive.

 

Some more stats:

The social network said during its second-quarter earnings call July 26 that it had reached 955 million monthly average users, so it was only a matter of time before the milestone occurred.

Facebook offered more statistics in a Word document attached to Zuckerberg’s Newsroom post:

  • More than 1.13 trillion likes since launching the feature in February 2009.
  • 140.3 billion friend connections.
  • 219 billion photos uploaded, with that figure reaching around 265 billion if deleted photos are added to the total. Photo uploading launched on Facebook in the fall of 2005.
  • 17 billion location-tagged posts, including check-ins, since the launch of the feature in August 2010.
  • Since music-listening applications launched in September 2011, 62.6 million songs have been played 22 billion times, representing about 210,000 years of music.
  • The median age of Facebook users is about 22.
  • The top five countries in terms of people connected when the 1 billion mark was reached, in alphabetical order, were Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the U.S.
  • The social network also surpassed 600 million mobile users.

Zuckerberg wrote in his Newsroom post:

This morning, there are more than 1 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 1 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.
