Facebook has revealed some new figures about its userbase, and it’s getting more specific than usual. Rather than reporting the traditional statistic of monthly active users, the company is announcing daily users on a country-by-country basis. In an email, Facebook said that it has 128 million users on the web and 101 on mobile each day in the US. This compares to a daily figure of 699 million users worldwide. For a little perspective on growth, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in late 2010 that the social network had 500 million users, over half of which logged in every day.
