Facebook celebrates one billion users

“What we’re trying to articulate is that we as humans exist to connect, and we at Facebook to facilitate and enable that process,” Rebecca Van Dyck, Facebook head of consumer marketing told Ad Age. “We make the tools and services that allow people to feel human, get together, open up. Even if it’s a small gesture, or a grand notion—we wanted to express that huge range of connectivity and how we interact with each other.”
