Facebook Crosses 2 Billion Monthly Users (theverge.com)

Posted by msmash on from the unprecedented-scale dept.

Facebook has announced that it now has over 2 billion monthly active users. From a report: That's up from the 1.94 billion total that the company cited as part of its most recent earnings report in May. Mark Zuckerberg shared the news directly, and Fast Company has a story on Facebook's constant efforts to keep pushing growth upward. "It's an honor to be on this journey with you," Zuckerberg wrote. Facebook's other apps are faring well, too: Messenger has over 1.2 billion monthly users and Facebook-owned WhatsApp tallies a similar figure. Twitter, by comparison, has 328 million monthly active users. Instagram has over 700 million.

    Facebook has over 2 billion users and manages to cross each and every one of them? I'm actually not surprised.

    If I can be modded down for being a troll, can I be modded up for being an orc, or a balrog?

    People who love to declare that they're not on Facebook annoy me as much as the ones without TVs. Or vegans.

    Oh man, you'd absolutely love talking to me...

    I'm also an atheist, a Mac user, a Nintendo gamer, a "maker" and a 3D-printer owner, by the way. And since I'm also Canadian, I'm sorry if I annoyed you in any way, eh?
