Facebook Now At 200 Million Users

Growing rapidly
Facebook celebrated its 5th birthday in early February and at the time it had more than 150 million users globally.
Now the social networking site has reached a new milestone and has announced it has 200 million members worldwide.
"Growing rapidly to 200 million users is a really good start, but we've always known that in order for Facebook to help people represent everything that is happening in their world, everyone needs to have a voice," Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, wrote on the company blog.
"This is why we are working hard to build a service that everyone, everywhere can use, whether they are a person, a company, a president or an organization working for change."

Facebook is also partnering with 16 charitable and advocacy groups to create gifts for members to share with 90-95 percent of the proceeds going to the organizations and the rest to cover administrative costs.
