This “milestone” was reached on Monday, when “1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family, he said in a Facebook post. ‘’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’’ He added.
Founded in 2004, the social media site has nearly 1.5 billion users who log in at least once a month, but new achievement was the most in a single day.
