| Facebook hits one billion users in a single day |
FACEBOOK boss Mark Zuckerberg, reveals one billion users accessed the site in a single day.
If you thought Facebook was losing its popularity it seems you were very wrong.
The social network saw a staggering one billion people access the site on Monday – the most it's ever seen.
Facebook has had a very good year with user numbers increasing steadily during 2015.According to latest figures, the network now has an average of 968 million daily users and 1.49 billion monthly visitors. Facebook was founded by Zuckerberg in 2004 and has seen meteroric rise to success. In October 2012 the firm revealed that one billion people had Facebook accounts and earlier this year it claimed that over half of the world's online users visited the site at least once a month. Facebook's challenge is how it continues that growth. The social network is launching new products and services and recently announced its new Facebook M, a virtual assistant.
Similar to Apple's Siri, this service sits within the Messenger application and blends artificial intelligence technology with human “trainers” to complete tasks for users.
Facebook boss, Mark Zuckerberg, announced the milestone on his personal page, saying: “For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day.
"On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family,”
“A more open and connected world is a better world.
"It brings stronger relationships with those you love, a stronger economy with more opportunities, and a stronger society that reflects all of our values,”
