The Today Show’s Matt Lauer cut to the chase on Thursday while interviewing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Upon news that the social network has surpassed 1 billion users Lauer blatantly asked:
“If a company has a billion customers, how can they not be killing it making money?”
To which Zuckerberg gave a political type answer:
“Well, it depends on your definition of ‘killing it.'”
It is a very valid question, Facebook after all posted the following staggering statistics that have been compiled since its February 2009 launch:

1.13 trillion likes
140.3 billion friend connections
219 billion photos uploaded (not including deleted photos – with deleted photos, that number is estimated to be 265 billion)
17 billion check-ins and other location-tagged posts
62.6 million songs played 22 billion times (the equivalent of 210,000 years of music)

The company has also done well with user acquisition:

600 million are mobile users
The median age is about 22 years old
The top five countries are now, in alphabetical order, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States
Although the company’s second-quarter revenues beat expectations at $1.18 billion, Facebook stock dropped after a disappointing quarter for Zynga, from which Facebook derives a portion of its revenue.

Here is the Today Show interview with Mark Zuckerberg:
Nice Mark really has made a difference in many peoples lifes.
If you really want to make money online you need solid training.
I got my training here https://xdotcom.roypocock.com and it only cost me $1 for the first 30 days. And after following it to the letter I was making money within 2 weeks.
I mean you wouldn't drive a car without learning how to do it first would you? Grab some training for just a dollar and who knows where you'll end up!
