Facebook Used By One Billion People

THE STORY – FACEBOOK USED BY ONE BILLION PEOPLE

We know how it works. Open up Facebook, scroll through your newsfeed, like a few things, close Facebook, repeat. Well on Monday, one billion people were open and closing their Facebook tabs probably procrastinating at work. (Source: Fortune).

If one billion people were on Facebook then why did my new profile picture only get 78 likes?

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post, “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.” So we can’t explain why your profile picture only got 78 likes.

Facebook was thrilled in April 2014 when they reached one billion monthly users. In June 2015, they had 968 million daily users. We hope these billion people know about their Digital Reputation. Although they may have reached a large milestone, Facebook doesn’t plan on slowing down soon. Their next plan is to bring the internet to five billion users with their Internet.org initiative (Source: PC Mag).

Quote of the Day: “Will That Match My Instagram Theme?”

Instagram announced on Monday that users will now be able to upload landscape and portrait photos along with the standard square. They discovered that one in five photos aren’t in the square layout (Source: Instagram). The stress this causes among users when they have to debate whether to cut their friend out of the picture so you can see the scenery or put a white border around their image which might throw off their aesthetic…what a dilemma. We’re glad this problem will now be solved.
