Facebook is about to cross one billion users.

Employees are already throwing that magic number around the office, but they're surely rounding up. The last official figure Facebook gave is 955 million users.

Based on its rate of growth, Facebook should be hitting the 1 billion mark any day now—right in line with projections made earlier this year.
