FACEBOOK PASSES 2 BILLION USERS - MADNESS

in facebook •  7 years ago 

Can anything stop Facebooks domination? Well it doesn't look like it.

The social network was founded in 2004 and reached the 1 billion-user milestone in October 2012, meaning it has signed up around 580,000 new users a day since then.

Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, who made the announcement, said:

"We're making progress connecting the world, and now let's bring the world closer together."

It would seem that everyman and his dog is on Facebook and i am no different. I think the groups are good because you do get to see members content with no restrictions but i absolutely hate Facebook pages and Facebook profiles, really 4% reach, your happy with that? And i also use the messenger to keep in contact with friends. But Facebook as a site, if it was shut down i think i would be smiling for the rest of the year,

Everybody is leaving Facebook and coming to Steemit

and The8App ;-)

It's the network effect in action. We need to be there to reach friends. That's what I use it for plus a few groups.

I don't see Steemit replacing the less public aspects of FB, but it could be a much better place for bands, artists, writers and others who want to reach their fans and earn for their work.

Steemit is supposed to be getting groups/communities soon. That could help it take off.

the thing about Facebook is you can't compete if you just copy them, they then just censor you or plan b buy you out, you have to build a niche and just co exist. Look at twitter. Twitter is not a threat to Facebook and Facebook is not a threat to Twitter they co exist cause Twitter found a niche of posting with only 140 characters and that is not what Facebook is interested in.

Jeeze, that a good chunk of the world's population.

yeah it is crazy

But the great news is that's so many people who will soon be sick of seeing continuous posts about politics, peoples dinner and display ads for erective disfunction (or is that just me?)

not just you

Ah, thank goodness for that!
