Facebook Hits The One Billion Mark!

Los Angeles, October 4, 2012.  This is the most amazing story - facebook has reached one billion users per month, and what's more, they add up to 219 billion photos!  Here is the story from ABC News this morning:

A big milestone for the world's largest social network. Facebook says it now has more than one billion users each month. The announcement was made this morning in a status posting by Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. "If you are reading this thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you," he said with a hint of humor. "Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life." Facebook says its one billion users have been responsible for 1.13 trillion "likes," 219 billion photos and 17 billion location check-ins.

Those are astonishing numbers, to think that 1/6 of the world's population are now interconnected on a social site and 219 billion photos have been uploaded - now that's something to marvel at.
