It’s Official: Facebook Hits Half a Billion Members
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has a message for all the social networking haters out there: Facebook is doing just fine without your support, thank you very much. He didn’t actually say that, nor did he need to – the numbers speak for themselves.
“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,” Zuckerberg wrote in a blog post. “This is an important milestone for all of you who have helped spread Facebook around the world. Now a lot more people have the opportunity to stay connected with the people they care about.”
To celebrate the occasion, Zuckerberg and company launched a new app called “Facebook Stories” so you can tell the other half billion members what brought you into the social networking scene and what you use Facebook for.
Not hokey enough for you? Not to worry, the Facebook team also assembled a photo album filled with their messages of thanks. Maybe at the one billion members mark the company will spring for a celebratory video.
