Facebook now gas 1 Billion Active Users.
The social network birthed in a Harvard dorm grew in eight short years to a membership that it says accounts for nearly one seventh of the world’s population. Not fake users or bots — which Facebook tracks closely — but real humans who actively engage on the social network, announced on TODAY
Since Facebook launched, the social network’s seen 1.18 trillion "likes" and 140.4 billion friend connections. There are 219 billion photos currently being shared, while 17 billion check-ins have been made. Since the music listening app launched in September 2011, 62.6 million songs have been played 22 billion times — that's around 210,000 years of music.
If Facebook was a country, it would have the third largest population, right behind China (1,347,350,000) and India (1,210,200,000), and ahead of the United States (314,500,000).
