Associated Press New York Last Updated: May 2, 2013 | 00:00 IST ![]() PHOTO: Associated Press Facebook Inc, the world's biggest social networking company, on Wednesday said its user base grew considerably during the January-March quarter, including a 10 per cent jump in monthly active users via mobile to 751 million. The social network's user base has been an area of some concern to investors of late amid chatter of "Facebook fatigue", especially among younger users. But, Facebook said its monthly user base grew 5 per cent to 1.11 billion accounts as of end of March, from 1.06 million at the end of December. This was a 23 per cent growth from a year earlier. The social network also said it had 665 million active users each day on average in March - up 8 per cent from 618 million in December and 26 per cent from a year earlier. The number of users logging in to Facebook via their mobiles jumped 10 per cent to 751 million in the January-March quarter, from 680 million in the quarter ended December 2012. The monthly active users via mobiles increase 54 per cent year-on-year. Instagram now has 100 million monthly users, up from 22 million when Facebook agreed to buy the company in April 2012. Facebook's stock rose 12 cents to $27.55 in after-hours trading. The stock closed down 34 cents on Wednesday. It is up 3 per cent since the beginning of the year compared with an 11 per cent increase for the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Facebook went public on May 18, 2012, at $38 per share, a price it hasn't hit since.
