Facebook Now Has 1 Billion Monthly Users
Facebook has hit a milestone, attracting one billion monthly users. Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement on the company's website, adding that it's his hope that his company will eventually connect the rest of the world, too.
Zuckerberg recently said that 235 million people are playing games on the site. The company also released an accompanying document, filled with a dizzying amount of statistics. More than 219 billion photos have been uploaded since the service's February 2009 launch, and users have "liked" 1.13 trillion things.
Although Facebook gaming has taken its lumps from the hardcore set, there are still a few titles that are worth worth checking out.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
