facebook stats

Facebook just released their 2013 Q1 Financials, so armed with some fresh stats, this is as good a time as ever to update this post.

A couple of notable changes are Total monthly active users jumping to 1.11 billion, daily actives rising to 665 million and mobile monthlies up to 751 million. Unreal.

Here is More Award-Worthy Facebook Coverage

Got a Facebook user stat you’d like to see here? Leave a comment and let me know!

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these stats come from Facebook’s own financial filings, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
