As of today, 250 million people are using Facebook to stay updated on
what's happening around them and share with the people in their lives.
The rapid pace of our growth
is humbling and exciting for us, and it affirms that people everywhere
are realizing the power of staying connected to everything they care
about on Facebook.
From the beginning, Facebook hasn't been about building a website.
Facebook is about all of the people using it and all of the things that
are important to you. The 250 million of you on Facebook today are what
gives Facebook life and makes the site meaningful to everyone using it,
so we thank you.
Each person who joins makes Facebook better by adding a presence to the
site that friends and family can connect with and feel closer to. For
us, growing to 250 million users isn't just an impressive number; it is
a mark of how many personal connections all of you have made, and how
far we at Facebook have to go to extend the power of connection to the
billions of people around the world.
So today as we celebrate our 250 millionth user, we are also continuing
to develop Facebook to serve as many people in the world in the most
effective way possible. This means reaching out to everyone across the
world and making products that serve all of you, wherever you
are—whether through Facebook Connect, new mobile products
and the other things that we are building. We're grateful to have all
of you with us, and we look forward to helping connect the next quarter
billion people on Facebook.
