When will Facebook hit 1 billion users?

Read MoreWould you look for love using Facebook ads?
For one guy, the answer is yes. That one guy is Matt Simpson. He’s a web-savvy 30-something, and he’s using the Facebook self-service ad platform to find love. At first, it sounds a little bit weird, but when you think about it, it’s probably a cheaper alternative than going out to bars every night or setting aside money each month for dating websites.
