Facebook Monthly Users Hit 2 Billion Milestone

Facebook has come a long way since Mark Zuckerberg launched the social media platform from his college dorm room in 2004. The online giant’s growth is astonishing – unprecedented even. It took only eight years for Facebook to reach its first milestone of 1 billion active monthly users in 2012. And now, just five short years later, it has managed to double that number. With the global population at 7.34 billion people, that means that a quarter of the world is logging onto Facebook every month.
