Facebook, a US-based social networking site which was founded in February 2004, claims to have over 250 million active users, out of which more than 120 million users log on to Facebook.com at least once a day.
In April 2009, Facebook had announced to have crossed the mark of 200 million active users. According to Facebook, about 70 per cent of its users access the site from outside the United States and more than 30 million active users access Facebook through their mobile devices.
“The rapid pace of our growth is humbling and exciting for us, and it affirms that people everywhere are realizing the power of staying connected to everything they care about on Facebook,” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO, Facebook, has said.
“For us, growing to 250 million users isn’t just an impressive number; it is a mark of how many personal connections all of you have made, and how far we at Facebook have to go to extend the power of connection to the billions of people around the world,” Zuckerberg has added.
