Facebook is used by 1 billion/1 in 7 people a month
Reached this milestone just 2 years and 3 months since they reached the half a billion mark
It's recorded
1.13 trillion Likes
140.3 billion friend connections
219bn shared photos
...since it launched in February 2004
More than 300m photos are uploaded every day and 62.6m songs played.
"Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life,"
A welcome distraction from their share collapse, which launched at $38 a share in May only to drop steadily to $21 on Wednesday.
Zuckerberg tumbled down the Forbes 400 list of the richest Americans as his personal fortune fell by $8.1bn.
Facebook also used the 1 billion user milestone on Thursday to launch a digital video ad to promote its own advertising tools - "The Things that Connect Us"
