Facebook is going to 1bn users by 2012.

According to statistics site Social Bakers, the fastest growth is coming out of Brazil, with Facebook picking up another 1.9 million users in May, The Daily Mail reports. Other fast growing social networking countries include Indonesia, Philippines, Mexico and Argentina. Last July, when Facebook reached the 500 million users mark, its founder Mark Zuckerberg said there was 'no chance' the company wouldn't reach one billion. 

Nearly 700 million people are using the social network site Facebook worldwide now, and the number is likely to reach one billion by 2012.
As far as the number of users are concerned India is in the fifth position with 2,66,25,000 users with 2.27 per cent penetration of the total population, whereas the United States tops the list with 14,93,54,260 users. But in the growth momentum the US seems to be in a saturated position. Other countries in the top 5 list by number of users are: Indonesia (3,78,66,220), United Kingdom (2,94,99,660), Turkey (2,88,97,960).
