Facebook Is Now As Big As The Whole Internet Was In 2004

Facebook has as many users today as the whole internet had in 2004, the year Facebook was founded.

Facebook has over 800 million active users today, while 7 years ago in May 2004, there were only 757 million people using the internet worldwide in grand total.

The data comes from Royal Pingdom, which cites an internet growth statistics site that plots the amount of users using the internet in any given year.

These numbers are pretty mind-boggling. Where will it all end? There’s still plenty of room left for Facebook to grow, but how massive can it get before it grinds to a halt?
