It says in the first sentence that "It’s been just under 90 days since Facebook announced it has crossed the 200 million active user mark."

It also says the US has over 70 million active users.

Read the article.




They don't provide any definition for active, that's why I say it's meaningless marketing smoke and mirrors.

It makes a big difference whether you define an active user as "has logged in during the last 90 days" versus "last 30 days" or "has a record in our database".

I have no problems believing that they're approaching 1mio registrations/day. But as said, that's a meaningless figure. What I'd really like to know is their churn/retention.
