Facebook reported 1 billion users active every month as of October 4, 2012, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in an official company blog post. That’s up from 955 million as of June 2012. Here’s Zuckerberg’s note in full:

This morning, there are more than one billion people using Facebook actively each month.

 

If you’re reading this: thank you for giving me and my little team the honor of serving you.

 

Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life.

 

I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too.

The world’s largest social network launched in 2004, but its growth didn’t surge until late 2008
