Facebook Stories will Celebrate 500 Million Users

Facebook has quickly become the most popular social website and next week, they will reach the tremendously impressive milestone of having 500 million users. This time last year, the site had just reached 200 million users and five months ago, 400 million people were logging onto Facebook.

To celebrate 500 million users, Randi Zuckerberg, the marketing guru behind Facebook, gave an interview to All Things Digital’s BoomTown blog, saying that to celebrate its number of users, the company wants it to be all about the users. The initiative she’s talking about is Facebook Stories.

From Mashable:

“Facebook Stories will be a website within Facebook that’ll sort actual, submitted user stories by location and theme. Theme examples given included “finding love” and “natural disasters.” Each story will be limited to the same number of characters a Facebook status caps out at: 420.”

Do you have a great Facebook story of your own you would like to share with the 499 million other Facebook users out there? You can submit your own story and if it becomes popular, gaining more “Likes” than most of the other user-submitted stories, it could be featured among other popular Facebook stories.
