What did Zuckerberg say?
We just passed an important milestone. For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day. When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different.
This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it’s just the beginning of connecting the whole world. A more open and connected world is a better world. It brings stronger relationships with those you love, a stronger economy with more opportunities, and a stronger society that reflects all of our values
