Like it or not, Facebook now has more than 1 billion active users

Although Facebook is the home of chronic oversharing, founder Mark Zuckerberg can still keep a secret. On Thursday morning, Zuck wrote a wall post revealing that Facebook had reached 1 billion users. "Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life," he wrote. To commemorate the occasion, the site also released its first commercial (or "brand film," to use their term) called "The Things That Connect Us." So how big is Facebook? If it were a country, it would have the world's third largest population, which means 1 in every 7 people on the planet has a way to tell you what they just ate. [Source]
