Facebook officially announced today that it has surpassed 500 million active users. The social network is launching a new platform called Facebook Stories to celebrate this milestone, giving users a chance to talk about the impact Facebook has on their lives.
Our mission at Facebook is to help make the world more open and connected. Stories like these are examples of that mission and are both humbling and inspiring. I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started 6 years ago, wrote Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. I want to thank you for being part of making Facebook what it is today and for spreading it around the world.
