In recent months, the online presence of Facebook may have been overshadowed somewhat by current community favourite Twitter, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the incredibly popular social networking site isn’t still pulling in the punters. In fact, Facebook has this week welcomed its 200 millionth registered user. Writing on the official Facebook blog yesterday, network founder Mark Zuckerberg rubber stamped the landmark moment by saying that the first five years of Facebook have seen the service successfully fulfilling its goal to provide online users with a faster way to share information about what is happening around them. “We thought that giving people better tools to communicate would help them better understand the world, which would then give them even greater power to change the world,” enthused 24-year-old Zuckerberg, who initially started Facebook as a student community while attending Harvard. In an accompanying self-congratulatory video clip attached to Zuckerberg’s blog post, Facebook makes a concerted effort to fully drive home the true magnitude of a global community boasting 200 million members.
