1 Billion People Log Onto Facebook – In 1 Day!

by Gemma Bend

A staggering 1 in 7 people on Earth logged in to Facebook in a single day this Monday when the social networking platform reached a landmark 1 billion log-ins in a 24hour period.

Though Facebook’s stats are impressive – 1.5billion users are active a month – the news of such a huge proportion of these users logging in at once marks a huge milestone in the companies achievements. Founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the success in a post on his own Facebook page  (where else?!) earlier this week describing it as ‘connecting the whole world’.
