MANILA, Philippines – What does Facebook have in common with the African continent and the Indian subcontinent? Each has a population of around a billion.
Tech blog Mashable reported that the popular social networking site is set to hit the 1 billion user mark by August 2012.
In September 2011, Mashable reported, the social networking company claimed it already had 800 million users.
This means Facebook now connects almost 1/7 of the entire global population, which experts said hit the 7 billion mark late in 2011.
Of course, the number of users in the virtual world may not necessarily be equal to population size in the real world, as many people also maintain multiple accounts.
Latest data show that there are already 27 million Filipinos on Facebook.
