Who would have thought that Facebook now is on top of all Social Networks? After the success emerged of Friendster, social network service appeared one after another; MySpace, Flixter, Twitter. Name it and they have it.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced his social networking had 500 million active users. I’m guessing after the release of The Social Network Movie, this will absolutely boost to 1 billion users.
In a blog post on the Facebook site, Zuckerberg writes about the milestone: “As of this morning, 500 million people all around the world are actively using Facebook to stay connected with their friends and the people around them.”
Facebook’s growth continues at a prodigious rate. The site passed 250 million users nearly a year ago to date, announcing that milestone on July 15, 2009. As part of the 500 million mark, Facebook is soliciting stories from its users about how the site has made a difference in their lives. Check out the initiative (and watch a video of Mark) here.
