Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, posted some crazy update about an important milestone on his Facebook page on Thursday afternoon. According to NY Mag he was confident that his post, given what he had to share, would seen by the maximum amount of eyeballs possible.
It was reported that his post said that this Monday, 1 billion people used Facebook. Most probably including you, too. "That's billion with a B, and a day with 24 hours," said the report. Or as Zuckerberg has put in the post, that's "1 in 7 people on Earth."
Here is what Zuckerberg had written on his wall:
"We just passed an important milestone. For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day.
"On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family.
"When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different. This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world.
"I'm so proud of our community for the progress we've made. Our community stands for giving every person a voice, for promoting understanding and for including everyone in the opportunities of our modern world.
"A more open and connected world is a better world. It brings stronger relationships with those you love, a stronger economy with more opportunities, and a stronger society that reflects all of our values.
"Thank you for being part of our community and for everything you've done to help us reach this milestone. I'm looking forward to seeing what we accomplish together."
On another report written way back October 2012, Facebook was reported to have reached 1billion active users on September 14, but Facebook had not specified how many were fake accounts or if the 1 billion figure included them.
