Facebook Users Expected To Pass 1 Billion In August

8/12/2012

That's the day digital marketing company iCrossing has predicted that Facebook will pass 1 billion users.

iCrossing came to this precise date by using linear regression to extrapolate Facebook growth data from the end of 2008 to the present. The end of 2008 was chosen as a starting point because that's when Facebook started to show the linear growth rate it has today. Between 2006 and mid-2008 Facebook was growing exponentially.
