Facebook announced yesterday that it has now reached over 800 million active users worldwide. At its current rate of growth, Facebook will reach one billion active user mark around August 2012, extrapolates iCrossing, a London-based online marketing consultancy. The other SNS giant Twitter is expected to reach the one billion mark sometime in 2013.
In South Korea, Facebook currently has about 5.4 million active users. It has been experiencing a surge in growth since 2009, and especially more since last year when the country's number one SNS site Cyworld was hacked into, leaking personal information of over 35 million Korean users.
