Facebook celebrates 250 millionth user

You probably had a good idea that Facebook was popular, but I’m sure many users didn’t know just how popular the social website was. According to the most recent Facebook Blog post by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook now connects 250 million people. To celebrate this fact Facebook has developed some cool animation to show just how connected Facebook is globally.

Besides being a place where 250 million people can now connect it’s clear from Facebook’s animation that the website has become a global community. It’s hard to imagine that Facebook first started as a spinoff of a Harvard University social website called Facemash.

I have personally been amazed by some of the friends I have been able to find on Facebook. Some people I haven’t been able to track down in a decade. Some how Facebook just makes it easy to connect with long lost friends and family. That’s part of the reason why the company now has 250 million users.
