Facebook is getting extremely close to reaching 500 million registered users. Many sites, including this one, predicted that based on the user growth rate Facebook would reach the 500 million user mark by mid July 2010.
Facebook has sent an email to Facebook employees, new and old, to thank them for their contributions as they prepare to announce the 500 million milestone and asking them to upload photos to thank users. While we don’t know the exact date that the 500 million milestone will be surpassed, we’ve been hearing increasing talk surrounding the announcement and are expecting it to take place within days.
