By | October 26, 2012

Facebook today reported its financial results for the third quarter of 2012, announcing a revenue of $1.3 billion, which beats analyst expectations. Despite that, Facebook still reported a net loss of $59 million in the quarter. 86% of Facebook’s revenue in the quarter came from advertising, but for the first time ever, the company made money from mobile advertising, accounting for 14% of the total.

“As proud as I am that a billion people use Facebook each month, I’m also really happy that over 600 million people now share and connect on Facebook every month using mobile devices,” said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO. “People who use our mobile products are more engaged, and we believe we can increase engagement even further as we continue to introduce new products and improve our platform. At the same time, we are deeply integrating monetization into our product teams in order to build a stronger, more valuable company.”

The social network says that as of September 2012, it has 1.01 billion monthly active users.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally,
    it seems as though you relied on the video to make
    your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence
    on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something
    enlightening to read?

    Hi there! I know this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does running a well-established blog such as yours require a lot
    of work? I’m completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary everyday.

    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and feelings
    online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.

    Thankyou!

    Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as
    I provide credit and sources back to your webpage?
    My website is in the exact same area of interest as yours and
    my visitors would genuinely benefit from some of the information you present here.
    Please let me know if this okay with you. Cheers!

    You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
    be really something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
