Posted by Jacque on July 11th, 2007
Facebook blog says there are now 30 million users. Take a look at the active users chart (those who log on at least once a month) on Mashable showing that the number has doubled since the beginning of the year.
Facebook has been making the news a lot since the opening of Platform which you can read about here, with new applications being announced regularly.
“With this evolution of Facebook Platform, we’ve made it so that any developer can build the same applications that we can. And by that, we mean that they can integrate their application into Facebook—into the social graph—the same way that our applications like Photos and Notes are integrated.” says Katie Geminder, Director of Product at Facebook.
A good list of Facebook “awesome applications” can be found on Mashable, and you might want to check out the Facebook blog.
There is also a video (less than 3 minutes) explaining the social-networking site’s expansion of services.
