The 'Social Network' did 1 billion users in 24 hours

Facebook passed a milestone. It has hit one billion users for daily usage, Mark Zuckerberg said on his Facebook page.

He said:

"We just passed an important milestone. For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day.

On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family.

When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different. This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world."

Since inception in 2004, Facebook has set out to break every milestone conceivable, and they don't look like stopping any time soon.
