A million users isn't cool, you know what's cool? A billion users.
Facebook achieved that goal — a billion active users — almost three years ago, but the social network has another major milestone to celebrate this week.
"For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day," CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a post on his wall. In other words, "on Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook."
Let that sink in for a minute.
For Zuckerberg, it's a moment to celebrate, but the Facebook founder isn't about to rest on his laurels anytime soon.
"This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world," he wrote.
The latest milestone comes after Facebook in Oct. 2012 officially crossed the 1 billion user mark. In April 2014, the company had another landmark to celebrate — one billion monthly active users. Now it's managed to attract one billion people in a single day.
"I'm so proud of our community for the progress we've made," Zuckerberg wrote. "Our community stands for giving every person a voice, for promoting understanding and for including everyone in the opportunities of our modern world."
Meanwhile, Facebook now has its sights on bringing the Internet "to the next 5 billion people" with Internet.org, an initiative Zuckerberg announced in 2013. By the end of the year, about 3.2 billion people around the world are expected to be online, but 4 billion are still without access.
