Mark Zuckerberg hits the big number... but keeps himself simple
Friday 5th October 2012 | Raquel
Facebook has a new record: 1 billion users and still counting endlessly.
At last the bigger number appeared as we were all expecting. Two weeks ago Facebook passed the 1 billion user mark. Of course there is counter aspects that people will shoot immediatly: fake accounts or abandoned ones. However, as if they predicted the future - which they actually could by statistics - there was a huge purge of those just before the big number came in with the purpose to fix their integrity. Being one of the most popular sites, its user base is growing everyday and new apps and definitions are still changing, hoppefully to better ones.
"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." stated Zuckerberg on the site.
Related to this, not Facebook story anymore but a fun fact I found interesting lying around the web: our great Mark changes clothes... to the same ones everyday. The billionaire admited recently that he wears the same outfit everyday and to accomplish that he has 20 of the grey t-shirts we usually see him with on. Weird? Well, it's just who he is. He has the money so he can wear pretty much whatever he likes, and if he likes to keep it simple we salute him.
