New Delhi: Facebook is now a billion users strong. Facebook's CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the milestone on his Facebook profile. "This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month. If you're reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honour of serving you," Zuckerberg posted.
"Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life. I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too," he added.
