More Than 1 Billion users Access Facebook On Mobile Daily! Now What Do You Think Is The Key To Integrated Marketing Today?
Facebook revealed in its second quarter earnings Thursday just how many people use Facebook every day. According to the report, as of June 30th, it had over 1.7 billion monthly active users (MAUs), an increase of 15% year-over-year, and 1.57 billion mobile monthly active users. Facebook’s title as the world’s largest social network still stands as it is the first time the social network giant has surpassed 1 billion mobile daily active users (DAUs). What’s even more important is that the number of mobile-only monthly active users is also about to surpass the 1 billion milestone. To be clear, Facebook defines mobile-only MAUs as such: Mobile-only MAUs are defined as users who accessed Facebook solely through mobile apps or mobile versions of our website, or used our Messenger app, in the last 30 days of the given quarter. The number of mobile-only MAUs do not include Instagram users unless they would otherwise qualify as such users based on their other activities on Facebook.
The number of users isn’t the only thing that Facebook has to boast about. With an increase in users, Facebook also saw its profit skyrocket. In fact, just like the previous quarter, Facebook’s profit almost tripled to $2.06 billion.
Although Facebook’s rise seems unstoppable at this point, Mark Zuckerberg remains cautious by explaining Facebook is looking ahead and expanding on areas that will become more and more integral to its users – namely video content. ‘We see a world where video is first, with video at the heart of all of our apps and services.’
Facebook has been focusing more and more on video content. With the recently-introduced live streaming feature and the emergence of virtual reality and 360-degree cameras, it seems like the focus on mobile video is not only here to stay but also set to expand even further.
With more than a billion people on it daily, the transition could mean a huge change in how we interact with others, view content, receive news, advertise, and the list goes on.

Celebrating world premiere of Sean Hanish’s film ‘Sister Cities’ from a play by Colette Freedman Friday @seanhanish @colettefreedman @stana_katic @fredmolina Jess Weixler Michelle Trachtenberg Troian Bellisario @smarthouse26 @tcff #dailydiaryofscreens 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺💻📱📺 🎬
‘Sister Cities’ World Premiere at Traverse City Film Festival SOLD OUT!
Sean Hanish’s film, ‘Sister Cities’, from a play by Colette Freedman, will makes its world premiere at Michael Moore’s Traverse City film Festival on July 29, 2016 and it is already SOLD OUT. In this twisty and finely-observed family drama of Chekhovian simplicity, four estranged and wildly different sisters—each named after the city they were born in—are called home following the death of their mother. Free-spirited force of nature Mary Baxter lived a whirlwind life, and left her daughters adrift in her wake. After they arrive for Mary’s funeral, a raging storm traps them together in the house. Clashes ensue, old flames reappear, vodka is consumed, memories are triggered, and secrets bubble up, forcing them to confront the things they love about each other, and the things they’d just as soon forget. By turns awkward, funny, and moving, much like real-life family reunions, the fiery and forceful women at the film’s center give this American dramedy a winning appeal. Featuring an all-star cast including Jacki Weaver (“Silver Linings Playbook“), Stana Katic (“Castle”), Troian Bellisario (“Pretty Little Liars”), Michelle Trachtenberg, Amy Smart, Alfred Molina and Kaia Gerber star.
