By: Clicky Media Overall Worldwide Users As it is well reported, Facebook (http://www.clickymedia.co.uk/ Worldwide Facebook Users Despite the fact that we are seeing figures begin to plateau in some large countries which were early adopters of the social network, the overall worldwide user numbers continue to rocket at an impressive rate. Although not officially announced by Facebook it now seems as though the site has surpassed 700 millions worldwide users, almost exactly a year after announcing that they had achieved the 500 million user milestone. Although in terms of percentage growth it has nothing on the previous year on year stats, it is still a huge achievement. What Facebook will be most pleased about however is the fact that a year on and with an even larger audience they are still citing the 50% active rate of a year ago, meaning that on average over 350m users are logging into Facebook every day!
