14. With 1.4billion Active Users, Facebook Has More Than Twitter, WhatsApp And Instagram Combined
Facebook has moved into a completely different stratosphere when it comes to the number of users it has - reaching the 1.4billion mark in 2014. To put that into perspective, WhatsApp has roughly 500million users, Twitter 290million and Instagram 200million. That means that even if you add all of their users together, they do not reach a billion in total - and would still be more than 400million short of Facebook's total. What's more, Facebook also now owns Instagram and WhatsApp - having acquired the picture-sharing service and the instant-messaging application for a combined £14billion ($20billion).
