Facebook has the same number of users now as there were people alive just a century ago, which is a pretty impressive number of users for a dorm-room project after just a decade.
And if you’re the guy who did the project, you’d probably want to tout that.
Mark Zuckerberg posted this interesting fact last night (on Facebook):
